“The Nobodies” in Guns, God and Government by Marilyn Manson

Guns, God and Government was a world tour by Marilyn Manson between 2000 and 2001, promoting the album Holy Wood. With theatrical aesthetics, social criticism, and provocative symbolism, this tour solidified Manson as a countercultural icon. The show was filmed in multiple cities, capturing the intensity of his stage performance and his defiant message against American religion, politics, and morality.

About the song: The third single from Holy Wood, released in October 2001. Inspired by school shootings, Manson wrote this song in response to media sensationalism. It portrays how forgotten people can turn into monsters when denied a place in society.
