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".
