"Lamb of God" is the twelfth track on the 2000 release Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). The song is Manson's observation on how mass media treats and reports tragic death as a form of public entertainment in the hunt for ratings. Specifically, the song criticizes the press' canonization of people who have attained fame or infamy within their lifetime, after their death, into 'martyrdom' and the cult-of-personality celebrity worship America reciprocates in response. To expound the point, Manson make allegories to martyred assassination icons Jesus Christ ("it took three days for him to die [just so] the born again could buy the serial rights"), John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy ("the camera will make you god, that's how Jack became sainted") and John Lennon ("nothing's going to change the world", a line from The Beatles song "Across the Universe" and "there was Lennon in the happy gun", a reference to the White Album anti-gun song "Happiness is a Warm Gun"). Ironically, the latter song contains the lyric "I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun" as Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, would later look for his own happiness in a warm gun.
