About

Wormboy is track eight in Marilyn Manson’s second full-length studio release Antichrist Superstar.

In Wormboy, the protagonist “gains his wings” – meaning he gains the power and popularity of society’s cultural elite by, ironically enough, rebelling against society’s cultural elite.

Wormboy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When will you realize you're already there?
So watered down, your feelings have turned to mud
"Love everybody" is destroying the value of
All hate has got me nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping
I know I'm slipping away
I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping
I know I'm slipping away

[Chorus]
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was

[Refrain]
When you get to heaven
You will wish you're in hell
When you get to heaven
You will wish you're in hell

[Verse 2]
When will you realize you're already here?
You'll thank us now that you have crossed over
Don't pick the scabs or you will never heal
The world shudders as the worm gets his wings

[Chorus]
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was

[Bridge]
Then I got my wings
And I never even knew it
When I was a worm
Thought I wouldn't get through it

[Refrain]
When you get to heaven
You will wish you're in hell
When you get to heaven
You will wish you're in hell

[Chorus]
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was
(Oh no, it is) Everything they said it was
(Oh no, I am) All the things they said I was

[Outro]
(Oh no, it is) Said I was
(Oh no, I am) Said I was
(Oh no, it is) Said I was
(Oh no, I am) Everything they said I was
(Oh no, it is) Said I was
(Oh no, I am) Said I was
(Oh no)
