The Beautiful People

About The Beautiful People

Marilyn Manson’s first original hit after the cover of “Sweet Dreams.” The song is preceded with a few seconds of backward-guitar feedback and electronic noise. It includes a heavily distorted spoken sample by Tex Watson, declaring “We would swoop down on the town and kill everyone that wasn’t beautiful.” Lyrically, it is intertwined with 1996’s Antichrist Superstar overarching theme, a semi-narrative examination of the Nietzschean Übermensch. .
