"The Fight Song" is the second single from Marilyn Manson's fourth studio album "Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)". The music video for this song, directed by W.I.Z., shows the band members performing the song at a high school football game between 2 teams: "Holy Wood" and "Death Valley". The game itself is a metaphor for the conflict amongst both (in the album's concept) the rejects living in the Valley of Death and the beautiful people living in Holy Wood (itself a pun on Hollywood) as well as, possibly, the conflict of upper and lower classes, as inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche (see Master-slave morality). A remix appears on the Resident Evil soundtrack. The song uses a quote from "The Black Obelisk" by Erich Maria Remarque, as Manson sings "The death of one is a tragedy / The death of a million is just a statistic".

The video for this song is one of the bonus features on the Bowling for Columbine DVD.

The Fight Song lyrics

Nothing suffocates you more than the passing of everyday human eventsIsolation is the oxygen mask you make your children breath into survive

But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't existBut I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit

And when we were good you just closed you eyesSo when we are bad we'll scar your minds

fight, fight, fight, fight

You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fameThey'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today

And when we were good you just closed you eyesSo when we are bad we'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't existBut I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit

the death of one is a tragedythe death of one is a tragedythe death of one is a tragedybut death of a million is just a statistic
