Song analysis-Marilyn Manson: The Fight Song

I like this song mainly just cause it sounds good, and it has a strong opinion about the world, while i may not agree with the statement made he makes a couple good ones throught out the song. Such as "The death of one is a tragedy, but the death of a million is a statistic." Marilyn Manson makes his opinions know through his music, and he has more to say than most do.


"The Fight Song"
Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
Your children breathe in to survive
But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit
And when we were good
You just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds
Fight, fight, fight, fight
You'll never grow up to be a big-
Rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
They'll just cut our wrists like
Cheap coupons and say that death
Was on sale today
And when we were good
You just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds
But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
But death of a million is just a statistic
[CHORUS]
Fight, fight, fight, fight

  1. It's strange that someone originally controlled by the Universal Music Group label is just so anti-corporation. But hey, man, I guess it sells.
