How do you interpret this song?

[samwisefoxburr]

I don't consider myself good at interpreting songs and their meanings, and I was wondering if other people saw the same meaning in this song as me, considering people asked about Marilyn Manson's political views.

The way I interpret this song is that it's not only an attack on fundamentalist Christians, but it is also an attack on the current political atmosphere generated by the fundamentalist Christians.

I also think this song shows that he really doesn't agree with much of what the current administration is doing.

Does anyone else interpret this song the same way as I have?

Dead God
by Marilyn Manson

Rewrite the constitution
This is the final revolution
The end is here
If you're a part of the institution
You're not a part of the solution
Bow down to fear

I, I, I am the president
I, I, the emperor
I, I, I am the king of the world

The only good god is a dead god
The only god good for me
The only good god is a dead god, baby
The only damn god I need

Don't draw your own conclusion
Submit to the grand illusion
Get on your knees
There will be no absolution
No final step of evolution
The end is near

I, I, I am the president
I, I, the emperor
I, I, I am the king of the world

The only good god is a dead god
The only god good for me
The only good god is a dead god, baby
The only damn god I need

The only good god is a dead god
The only god good for me
The only good god is a dead god, baby
The only damn god I need

Your world means nothing to me
Your saviors a fool, still in your dreams
And when you're wrapped in your blame
Fulfill your own prophecy
No skin off my teeth

The only good god is a dead god
The only god good for me
The only good god is a dead god, baby
The only damn god I need

The only good god is a dead god
The only god good for me
The only good god is a dead god, baby
The only fucking god I need

I killed your king of deceit
Chaos come onto me, I am free
And when you're ultimately
Consumed by your own fucking greed
You will see
