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 things I fucked and ate
   anti cop

   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

  • "1996" features the same riff as "She's Not My Girlfriend", a song from Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids' 1990 cassette Grist-o-Line, albeit played faster. Curiously, Twiggy is given sole credit for writing "1996", despite Scott Putesky having composed the recycled riff in question several years before Twiggy had joined the band. Scott Putesky said in 2011: "I would change "1996" to "She's Not My Girlfriend. Twiggy Ramirez actually ripped off the riff that Gidget Gein came up with on "She's Not My Girlfriend, and there was legal action over that. I would rather have done "She's Not My Girlfriend" than the new twist on it, "1996." [1]
  • 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 entitled "Stained Glass".
