The Beautiful People-Marylin Manson-Studio Version

Marilyn Manson's second full-length studio release and was released in 1996. The album raised awareness of the band, and led to numerous protests due to the band's perceived anti-Christian stance. It was produced by the band's leader Manson and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.

The album's title is a combination of the concept of the Antichrist with the title of the famed musical Jesus Christ Superstar. The influence of the latter can also be seen in the song "Angel with the Scabbed Wings", which features a riff strongly reminiscent of a portion of the Jesus Christ Superstar score.

The album is considered a concept album. In a three part storyline, an abused and apathetic person (represented by "The Worm") becomes an influential celebrity and finally transforms into the powerful "Disintegrator". In an issue of Kerrang! magazine edited by Manson, he stated that the album was a tribute to - and inspired by - the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Much of the album content is deliberately vague, allowing listeners to draw independent conclusions.

The Beautiful People

And I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own shit on your knees

There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way

[Chorus:]
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most

The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way,
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away

[Chorus]

There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way

The beautiful people
The beautiful people (aahh) [x4]

[Chorus x2]

The beautiful people [x8]

This is by far the best album from Marilyn Manson. All the songs kick ass. This was his peak

[MISANTHROPY647]

have ever noticed that this version and the one from "lest we forget" sound a bit different?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@ZedxElite except ...over the years i think alot of people would agree brian warner died and marilyn manson stayed .....he IS marilyn manson ... i mean ...brian warner doesnt sleep with swatikas spray painted in his house of knives stuck in his walls and scribbling stuff on them :D

regardless , he is awsome.

[Soniaspapa]

I think this is his best cuz hes still caught up in metal and feeding a satanic beast. Whereas he went on to become just wierd later on. I like this stuff and smells like children but he got way to wierd for me later on and I ditched marilyn Manson. Slayer!!!!!!

[Soniaspapa]

@andvickable Its crazy cuz I have been on youtube for so long that people respond to my comments years later but I still feel the same. Im glad u agree cuz this album is hella good.

[ZiggyHuttinga]

Why is online dating being advertised on this video?

[717thdrummer]

demon, song is catchy though

[Booyah664]

Haha yeah that's why they ARE rockstars

[ZedxElite]

One thing people seem to forget, is that Marilyn Manson is a character, just an image used for selling. People don't hate actors that play an offensive role, and that's because it's expected and accepted. Marilyn Manson was nothing new, the band was just the David Bowie or Alice Cooper of their time. There are quite a few similarities.

Brian Hugh Warner is no creep. The image exists to sell.

[OriginalityImpaired]

Rockstars r supposed to be fucked up =P
