Marilyn Manson's Portait of an American Family

lyric dissection.

This accounts for every word spoken by Manson in every verse and chorus from "Portrait of an American Family." Every audible word spoke has been accounted for; various screams and whatnot have been left out. However, if the scream is an intelligble word: "yeah" "pow pow pow" and "fuck it" have been accounted for.

This word count includes every word spoken (each time), but does not count words spoken from samples played throughout the album (i.e. Charles Manson, movie samples.)
