Marilyn Manson - Surrender Lyrics






Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard
a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Away
Away

[CHORUS 7x]

Marilyn Manson Surrender Comments
  1. R.... N....

    Why the edit of the swear word? Anyway. I still love it. I have this on a German bootleg and it's not edited.

  2. M.... ....

    I loved this lineup. I miss being a teenager. Twiggy was the best 🤘

  3. P.... J....

    Not only were these guys but many others getting clowned for being effeminate, androgynous whatever. Now its ok to be a guy and dress like a girl. Oh how far weve come.

  4. 3.... E....

    Why they never released a studio version, I’ll never know!

  5. B.... O....

    SHIT YEAH I LOVE THIS

  6. C.... L....

    Man this is horrible!

  7. T.... ....

    i love this cover

  8. S.... S....

    Was this the last year MTV had a cover song at midnight? I don't remember any after this.

    S.... S....

    Steven Stokes AFI did Song 2 by Blur in 2007

  9. S.... C....

    I love cheap trick but holy shit 😍

  10. k.... ....

    No one does cover songs quite like Marilyn Manson.

  11. A.... ....

    John5 <3

  12. F.... i....

    Love it.

  13. B.... N....

    Back when MTV was cool

  14. S.... E....

    They just seem a little weird

  15. H.... E....

    It's motherfuckers was cool!!!

    H.... E....

    I could not have said it better myself.

  16. L.... ....

    no keychange. i like marilyn but this isn't very good.

    L.... ....

    Probably why it was never put on a album

  17. H.... ....

    I remember seeing this live. They didn't censor it the one time it was live.

  18. J.... A....

    I remember falling asleep right after it was midnight and they started playing this song. I didn't realize at the time that Rose McGowan and Rosario Dawson were there.

  19. J.... C....

    Worst cover ever made.

    J.... C....

    I honestly, am the biggest Manson fan, yet I 100% agree. This is a HORRIBLE version of the song. It's NYE, so perhaps they're wasted, however, you're on MTV - do your job! It's a bit like a high school band, the music is there however they barely get by. :(

    J.... C....

    I mean, they've only ever played the song live this once, no shit it was crass, but that just was more or less the spirit of the styling the cover lent itself too. The quicker and more agressive drum pace ended up necesitating a much more agressive screechy kinda voice, the overall tone of the song gave it way more energy and in all honesty, the oroginal is pretty shit hair rock (but that's obviously just an opinion there). I disagree, I think this version is a lot better than the original.

    J.... C....

    It was a one-off performance. They didn't give a shit anyways..

  20. �.... �....

    ah, his glory days

  21. E.... A....

    They should sell this on itunes as a music video <3 for sure

  22. O.... ....

    I just came, goddamn.

  23. F.... ....

    Actually in the 90's it was more about the "Real World" instead of pregnant teenage sluts >:P

    F.... ....

    But this was from 2001....

  24. A.... ....

    Awesome performance!

  25. w.... ....

    marilyn manson every new year!

  26. w.... ....

    YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. %.... ....

  36. B.... ....

    croaking

  37. A.... B....

    @cosmokramer, I Never knew that, Thank you for your insight.

  39. H.... M....

    11 emos ou cristãos assistiram

  40. D.... ....

    Too bad I was too young to watch TV when MTV was actually good. Nowadays it's total shit.

    D.... ....

    About the time this was made was when in TV was already going to shit.

  41. R.... C....

    @T33V33 Out of curiosity, are you mentally retarded? Take a closer look at what I was responding to.

  42. W.... ....

    @danielslashmio cos hes old now

  43. R.... C....

    @danielslashmio Just wait until you're in your 40s and see how youthful you feel.

  44. C.... M....

    Powerful!

  45. J.... C....

    Damn I like that voice. Wouldn't win any talent shows but shit who needs em!

  46. s.... ....

    I noticed Rose Mcgowan at the start, were they still going out at this point?

  47. F.... ....

  48. L.... M....

    he needs a studio version.

    L.... M....

    Mitchell McCormick I agree

  57. S.... ....

  58. S.... ....

    i thought so. so did u like them as a couple?

  59. S.... ....

    was that rose mcgawn?

  60. a.... p....

    I LOVE MANSON!!!...e tra 1mese vado al live a Milano!!!!!!!!!!aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

  61. B.... ....

    I love manson!!!!!!!!!!!!

  62. M.... M....

    excellent

  63. D.... F....

    i want manson at my new years party this year how much do you think he charges XD

  64. G.... W....

    Not at the show I was at..Slayer took way more time than an hour.

  65. k.... ....

    They both had an hour a piece. The whole tour was for both of them to get the same headlining time.

  66. G.... W....

    I have to disagree kemorc. While he did kind of peak around the era in this video..I didn't get that from his Mayhem show at all. First, I thought he sounded the best he's sounded in years live. Secondly, I thought he was totally into it, and they put on an amazing show. Perhaps what you saw was the fact that he was annoyed that his act was so short. I've heard rumours of that and I could believe it.. While he headlined the show in Auborn that I want to, Slayer had WAY more time than he did.

  67. k.... ....

    I know what you mean... plenty of unhappy fans during the Slayer/Manson tour. He seemed more interested in getting the shows over with... that and makin the guy who keeps the mike stand upright miserable (he knocked that thing down at least 20 times).

    k.... ....

    kemorc thats pretty hilarious.. I may actually have done the same

  68. r.... c....

    i think the girl is rose mcgowan

  69. b.... ....

    Manson was fired up here... but now.... not really...

  70. l.... ....

    So ...

    WHo are the in the band for this performance"

    And who is the girl next to Carson Daly during the intro?

    l.... ....

    Thats john 5, twiggy ramirez, madonna wayne gacey, ginger fish, and marilyn manson. No idea who carson daly is 🤷‍♂️

  71. H.... ....

    He sold out and should be very proud of it.
    He sold out and still made the music he wanted to make.

  72. j.... l....

    pogo too...

  73. H.... G....

    no ones a fucking revolutionary, you revolt so the same shit can happy again, nothing will ever fix humanity and manson knows this too, his a fucking nihilist, he knws theres no solution so why try.

  74. c.... ....

    at least twiggy is back

  75. N.... H....

    Anytime.

  76. N.... H....

    (omgwtfzuperpewpew)

    It's from "Highway To Hell" an album of cover songs that never made the light of day, lol.

  77. T.... ....

    The only one there that isn't with him now is John 5 :D

  78. a.... ....

    well they still have ginger fish, and twiggy ramirez re-joined, so that's good!

  79. a.... ....

    The best members of the band ... miss 'em so much ...

  80. j.... ....

    i wish manson was scary like he used to be...he should have had pig's blood drop from the ceiling after the performance soaking everyone...lol

  81. e.... ....

    Wow!! listening to this you could tell the world was about to change pop culture wise.The sound of the song sounded so 90's and everyone seemed like they are transitioning.

  82. c.... ....

    MANSON FUCK OFF

  83. B.... ....

    damn I remember when this was on TV

  84. T.... B....

    Cheap Trick

  85. M.... ....

    He kinda sounds like Murderdolls :D

  86. T.... ....

    Amazing...love that style he has!
    the song is called Surrender

  87. R.... ....

    Oh yeah.

  88. R.... ....

    Take it down . . ?
