Lyrics[edit]

   (Ronnie Radke:)
   I can't stop from spinning
   Down the rabbit hole
   The deeper that you push
   The deeper I will go
   
   They said that God's a woman
   I'll worship you the same 
   Cause all I do is think about
   Saying your name in vain
   
   You might as well marry me
   
       My sinful confession 
       You're my obsession (yeah)
       If God is a woman 
       Then God is a weapon (yeah)
   
   (Marilyn Manson:)
   I can't stop from sinning 
   My halo's just a hole
   The deeper that I get inside you
   The deeper you will fall 
   
   They say that God's a weapon 
   Well I'm a hand grenade
   Try to take this ring from me
   Watch me detonate
   
   You might as well bury me
   
       (Ronnie Radke:)
       My sinful confession
       You're my obsession (yeah) 
       If God is a woman 
       Then God is a weapon (yeah)
   
       My sinful confession 
       You're my obsession 
       If God is a woman (Manson: God is a...)
       Then God is a weapon (Manson: God is a...)

Behind the scenes[edit]

Trivia[edit]

Manson and Radke in gym
  • Marilyn Manson, as the lyricist, clearly have made references to his own songs in the second verse. For example, the lines "Well I'm a hand grenade / ... / Watch me detonate" closely resemble the line "And I was a hand grenade that never stopped exploding" from the song "Mechanical Animals", and the line "My halo's just a hole" echoes "And my halo was a needle hole" from the song "Target Audience (Narcissus Narcosis)".
  • Because of modern censorship, a naked woman in a music video can't have nipples on her breasts — exactly the same trick Marilyn Manson had to use on the cover of his Mechanical Animals album.
  • Among other visual similarities, one can also highlight Ronnie Radke emerging from the water, much like Manson did in the "Disposable Teens" music video.
  • Some shots from the music video also resemble photoshoots from Manson’s The Golden Age of Grotesque era. In one of them, he posed holding a mirror, with a blackface on — now echoed in the video by a PVC-mask-covered face reflected in the mirror.
