MARILYN MANSON

- Rock Is Dead Lyrics

All simple monkeys with alien babies
Amphetamines for boys and crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless wide real world
Sell all the living for more safe dead

Anythin' to be loved
Anythin' to be loved

Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed

God is in the TV
Rock
Rock
Rock
Rock

One thousand mothers are prayin' for it
We're so full of hope and so full of shit
Build a new God to medicate and to ape
Sell us ersatz dressed up and real fake
Anythin' to be loved
Anythin' to be loved

Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed

God is in the TV
Rock
Rock
Rock
Rock

Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed

Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed

What is the meaning behind Rock Is Dead lyrics?


When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Marilyn Manson's 'Rock Is Dead' is a scathing critique of the music industry and—by extension—the society's fixation on superficiality and consumerism. The words cloaked in metaphors imply that rock music has succumbed to inauthenticity and powerlessness, thus becoming a genre of artificiality and tricks, however the artists still encourage the audience to be critical of the media and pop culture's fake illusions and idols. Mostly through lyrics, Rock is dead is a social commentary of anger, angst, despair, and reflection. Simultaneously, the song underlines the importance of disillusionment with modern culture, search for belonging, and critique of media and consumerism. The lyrics are heavy with profanity and sexually charged themes with drug references that are designated as adult contents. The explicitness of the language and the themes' context imply that the parents should take the rating very seriously.

Very sharp social criticism. Old-timers complain that Mr. Manson just goes for shock value, but to him, it's society's hypocrisy that is practically begging for some shock therapy.
