Manson adds in the chorus that she didn't think the girl would become a phony. "You stupid girl/You stupid girl/Can't believe you fake it/Can't believe you fake it."
In the third b-section, Manson says the girl avoids the hurt she feels. She's learned people will value her sexuality, not personality. "Don't believe in fear/Don't believe in pain/Don't believe in anyone/
That you can't tame."
The first and second chorus are sung again.
The sample of "Train In Vain" has a solo. It's telling that the section used is "you didn't stand by me, no way." It's a smart nod, briding the original message of the song (abandonment) with adolescence. It gives it another layer.
Manson says "you stupid girl" to end the single.
"Stupid Girl" remains relevant for discussing a tricky issue without resorting to cliches. Manson's disappointment in the girl is apparent. She's seen the girl grow up to loathe who she actually she is. Manson also makes the point that popularity doesn't matter. In the end, the girl will be ashamed of herself for playing the social games and be betrayed by those same people.
