Το τραγούδι που ο MarilynManson έγραψε μαζί με τον κινηματογραφικό συνθέτη Tyler Bates, αναφέρεται στην εφιαλτική εμπειρία PTSD του πατέρα του μετά τη λήξη της θητείας στον πόλεμο του Βιετνάμ – αξίζει τον κόπο να ψάξει κανείς αυτή την ιστορία (εδώτο link από συνέντευξη του MM στον Guardian). Το ‘Killing Strangers’ περιέχεται στο άλμπουμ της μπάντας του The Pale Emperor του 2015, έχοντας ακουστεί ευρύτερα ένα χρόνο πριν στην ταινία ‘John Wick’ του Keanu Reeves. 🟡 🟡 The song Marilyn Manson co-wrote with film composer Tyler Bates refers to his father’s nightmarish PTSD experience after completing his service in the Vietnam War – it’s worth looking into this story (here is the link from MM’s interview in The Guardian). ‘Killing Strangers’ is included on his band’s 2015 album The Pale Emperor, having been more widely heard a year earlier in Keanu Reeves’ film John Wick.

This world doesn’t need no opera
We’re here for the operation
We don’t need a bigger knife
‘Cause we got guns, we got guns, we got guns
We got guns, you better run
(You better run, you better run, you better run)
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
So we don’t kill the ones that we love
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
So we don’t kill the ones that we love
Love
Love
Love
We pack demolition
We can’t pack emotion
Dynamite, we just might
So blow us a kiss, blow us a kiss
Blow us a kiss, and we’ll blow you to pieces
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
So we don’t kill the ones that we love
Love
Love
Love
We got guns, we got guns
Motherfuckers better better, better run
We got guns, we got guns
Motherfuckers better run
We got guns, we got guns
Motherfuckers better better, better run
We got guns, we got guns
Motherfuckers better…
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
We’re killing strangers
So we don’t kill the ones that we love (better run)
We’re killing strangers (we got guns)
We’re killing strangers (we got guns)
We’re killing strangers
So we don’t kill the ones that we love (we got guns)
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
You better run
We got guns
We got guns
We got guns
