Lyrics

    anti choice
    anti girl
    I am the anti-flag unfurled
    anti white and anti man
    I got the anti-future plan
    anti fascist
    anti mod
    I am the anti-music god
    anti sober
    anti whore
    there will never be enough of anti more
    I can't believe in the things
    that don't believe in me
    now it's your turn to see what I hate about me
    anti people now you've gone too far
    here's your antichrist superstar
    anti money
    anti hate
    anti things I fucked and ate
    anti cop
    anti fun
    here is my anti-president gun
    anti Satan
    anti black
    anti world is on my back
    anti gay and anti dope
    I am the faggot anti-pope
    I can't believe in the things
    that don't believe in me
    now it's your turn to see what I hate about me
    anti people now you've gone too far
    here's your antichrist superstar
    anti peace
    anti life
    anti husband, anti wife
    anti song and anti me
    I don't deserve a chance to be
    anti people now you've gone too far
    here's your antichrist superstar

Trivia

• The line "light a candle for the sinners, set the world on fire" that is spoken in the beginning of the song, is taken from a poem Manson wrote called "Stained Glass".
