    If anyone just thinks this song is simply anti-Trump and pro-Hillary then you must be new to Manson. This song to me is about cutting off the head of a person and looking at what they are without their vanity and words. And all we are are carnal beasts. This is what Satan truly is; ourselves. The lyrics seem to suggest that Manson shows contempt for “the empty shell on the stage” (Trump or Hillary if you will) but even more for those in the audience. As they are the ones that will act upon the words, that come from what they perceive as gods and what Manson knows as Satan. Essentially we are all beasts and we shouldn’t blindly follow other beasts. This song is very laveyan in that sense.
