Trivia
- At the beginning of the "Disposable Teens" music video, Manson emerges from the water possibly portraying the Little Horn, a character mentioned in the Antichrist Superstar track "Little Horn". In the Bible, the Book of Daniel references a "little horn": "He arose from the water with large iron teeth that he used to smash his enemies with..." Manson's teeth in this scene appear to be iron-like.
- The line "We're rebels from the waist down" also appears in the 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, which Manson has mentioned as one of the books that had an influence on him.
- The chorus "You said you wanted evolution, the ape was a great big hit. You say you want a revolution, man, and I say that you're full of shit" are direct references to the John Lennon songs "Revolution 1" and "Power to the People", the former contain the lyric "You say you want a revolution, well you know we all want to change the world. You tell me that it's evolution, well you know we all want to change the world".
- The line "I never really hated the one true god/ but the god of the people I hated" references the quote "I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated" by Aleister Crowley.
- The song is available to download as a playable track for the Rock Band video game series as part of the Mayhem Tour 2009 pack.
