Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) Lyrics

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody is looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

I want to used you and abused you
I want to know what's inside
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I gotta used you and abused you
I gotta know what's inside
I gotta used you and abused you
I gotta know what's inside you

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) Song Chart

Eurythmics originally recorded this song in 1982. Manson gave it a much more ominous sound fitting of the band.

The album is a collection of remixes and covers, with a few originals. This was the only song to get a lot of attention.

This paved the way for Manson's next record, Antichrist Superstar, to debut at #3 on the US albums chart. This put him in strange company: the top two spots were held by Celine Dion and Kenny G.

Around the time this was released, Manson was gaining a cult following of alienated white suburban teens.

This became a hit thanks to MTV, which declared this a "Buzzworthy" video and put it in heavy rotation.

This was produced by Nine Inch Nails leader and Manson's mentor, Trent Reznor.

Manson often comes up with song inspiration in his dreams, but the idea to cover this song came from his first acid trip, according to his autobiography The Long Hard Road out of Hell . He says that he hallucinated a "slower, meaner" version of the dance hit playing, sung in his voice. (thanks, Stefano - Old Bridge, NJ)

In Manson's auto-biography, he related to this song by mentioning that he met people who wanted to be abused by him; and who wanted to use him as well. (thanks, Renae - Mill Grove, PA)
