歌词
Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow I`ll know that I'm just dirt
Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow I`ll know that I'm just dirt
We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
When dead,
they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
When dead,
they'll know just who we are
Yesterday I was dirty
wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt
Yesterday I was dirty
wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt
We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
When dead,
they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
When dead,
they'll know just who we are
Some children died the other day
we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith
you should have seen the ratings that day (X2)
na nah nah nah na (X4)
We are the nobodies
wanna be somebodies
When dead
they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
wanna be somebodies
When dead
they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
wanna be somebodies
When dead
they'll know just who we are
2000年Marilyn Manson还没从歌迷对于Mechanical Animals的排斥中缓过神来，Columbine唱片公司又给他又留下了深深的创伤，最糟糕的是，他已不再属于是美国恶魔的形象了。Brian Warner准备做什么呢——立足于如此不稳固的境地之下。作为一个聪明人，也作为一个理智的商人，他知道是时候去巩固他的实力了——把Omega与Antichrist Superstar相结合，并回到那残酷的、争论无数而富有歌剧效果的音乐篇章——以造就一张总体上能够吸引那些被环境疏远的青少年人以及传统文化卫道士的概念化专辑。这张由此出炉的专辑——Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)，意图作为由Antichrist Superstar开头的三步曲之结尾篇，其中深奥费解的故事线索其实带着相当的Marilyn Manson自传色彩，但另人称奇的并不是故事部分——他最终把Mechanical Animals中的旋律以及细微的声音阴影与Antichrist中那粗俗的新工业金属音乐风格相融合。因此人们也容易把这张专辑看作Marilyn Manson的音乐定义专辑——专辑中曲调优美而嗓音沙哑。专辑的出色之处在于Manson的心良苦所创造出的那近乎完美的细节——在于歌词、专辑主题、专辑制作、歌曲顺序编排、那在词曲中所体现出的滑稽的模仿和自我剽窃以及自我亵渎神灵的封面艺术效果。对于专辑下的这些苦工夫令这张Holy Wood成为一张与Marilyn Manson其他作品相比之下更强有力、更富有一致性的优秀专辑。如果说这张专辑有问题，那么问题也出在Manson那震撼性的摇滚音乐在2000年这个时候似乎显得光怪离奇。Eminem超现实主义幻想曲才是那年标志性的音乐，而Marilyn Manson的摇滚乐歌剧、宗教折磨以及歌特之音都是属于那个已经过去的年代。不过这确实让Warner吃了一惊——因为Holy Wood结果仍然相当成功。
