hi bruce,

can't believe i'm writing this, coz i can't stand what the man ostensibly
represents, but marilyn manson's lyrics are pretty good from a 'let's
analyse what crap we're getting through the ether' stance, and anti war
lyrics.  take this one for instance:

The song is "This is the New Shit". Here's the whole song:

Everything has been said before 
There's nothing left to say anymore 
When it's all the same 
You can ask for it by name 

Babble, Babble, Bitch, Bitch 
Rebel, Rebel, Party, Party 
Sex, sex, sex, and don't forget the violence 
Blah, blah, blah 
Got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely 
Stick your stupid slogan in 
Everybody sing along 
Babble, Babble, Bitch, Bitch 
Rebel, Rebel, Party, Party 
Sex, sex, sex, and don't forget the violence 
Blah, blah, blah 
Got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely 
Stick your stupid slogan in 
Everybody sing along 

Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit? 
Stand up and admit, tomorrow's never coming 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit it 
Do we need it? NO! 
Do we want it? YEAH! 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit it 

Babble, Babble, Bitch, Bitch 
Rebel, Rebel, Party, Party 
Sex, sex, sex, and don't forget the violence 
Blah, blah, blah 
Got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely 
Stick your stupid slogan in 
Everybody sing along 
Everything has been said before 
There's nothing left to say anymore 
When it's all the same 
You can ask for it by name 

Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit? 
Stand up and admit , tomorrow's never coming 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit it 
Do we need it? NO! 
Do we want it? YEAH! 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit 

Now it's you-know-who 
I got the you-know-what 
I'll stick it you-know-where 
You know why, you don't care 
Now it's you-know-who 
I got the you-know-what 
I'll stick it you-know-where 
You know why, you don't care 
Now it's you-know-who 
I got the you-know-what 
I'll stick it you-know-where 
You know why, you don't care 
Now it's you-know-who 
I got the you-know-what 
I'll stick it you-know-where 
You know why, you don't care 

Babble, Babble, Bitch, Bitch 
Rebel, Rebel, Party, Party 
Sex, sex, sex, don't forget the violence 
Blah, blah, blah 
Got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely 
Stick your stupid slogan in 
Everybody sing along 

Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit? 
Stand up and admit , tomorrow's never coming 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit 
Do we need it? NO! 
Do we want it? YEAH! 
This is the new shit 
Stand up and admit 

Let us 
We're entertaining you 
Let us 
We're entertaining you 
Let us 
We're entertaining you 
Let us 
We're entertaining you 
Let us 
We're entertaining you

it's a good song, substance-wise, and if you won't get into trouble talking
about this stuff with your students, it might be a good shock for them to
hear you directing them to an artist they wouldn't expect.

just food for thought...

cheers,
jeff
