Song lyrics
Hey
There's no rules today
You steal instead of borrow
You take all the shapes that I make

And you think
That you think
All the thoughts
That I thought you
Don't you

Mutilation's the most
Sincere form of flattery
If you want to be me
Then stand in line like the rest
Now, do you know what I mean?

The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
As long as you have less to say

Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you.

Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you

Rebels without applause
I sell my shadow to those
Who are standing in it

They think I would
Bitch about them
Thinking they are the shit
When they can't even step in it

The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
As long as you have less to say

Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you

Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
As long as you have less to say

Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you.

Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
As long as you have less to say

Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you

Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

Fuck you
Fuck you
And Fuck you too

Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this
Better than you

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Marilyn Manson used to be one of my favorite artists, but, then he pulled this song out of the hat, bashed Gerard Way, bashed Frank Iero, and pretty much the rest of My Chemical Romance.

My respect points for him = 0.

His music is ok, but, as a person, he needs to get over himself.
He thinks he's getting ripped off by MCR, but I don't see Alice Cooper throwing a hissy fit about it.

If you really do compare the two, Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson's nothing but a copycat/hypocrite himself, all the way down to the somewhat creepy female influenced stage-name.

Sorry Manson. You just lost a die-hard fan.

Fuck Manson. I used to be a huge fan of his, thanks to this song I'm not. My Chem aren't even in the same subgenre as him, and he thinks they're ripping him off? Hmph. Seems as though it's almost impossible for celebrities to be friends these days. His music's still good and all, but I don't like him as a person anymore.

Band bashing isn't cool, even if that makes me a hypocrite.

He's just wanting attention.He doesn't like MCR is getting success.Its just an extension of the hissy fit he threw when Gerard did the bar over his eyes.He wants a scape goat and he chose MCR.
