Lyrics

    Hey Mr. Superstar:
    "I'll do anything for you"
    "I'm you're number one fan"
    hey mr. porno star, I, I, I, I want you
    hey mr. sickly star,
    I want to get sick from you
    hey mr. fallen star,
    don't you know I worship you?
    hey mr. big rock star,
    "I wanna grow up just like you"
    I know that I can turn you on
    I wish I could just turn you off
    I never wanted this
    hey mr. superhate,
    I just want to love you
    hey, hey, hey mr. superfuck,
    I wanna go down on you
    hey mr. supergod,
    will you answer my prayers?
    hey, hey, hey mr. superman,
    I want to be your little girl
    I know that I can turn you on
    I wish I could just turn you off
    I never wanted this
    hey mr. superstar,
    I'll kill myself for you
    hey mr. superstar,
    I'll kill you if I can't have you
    superstar, superfuck baby...

Trivia

• "Mister Superstar" is comparable to Nine Inch Nails' "The Beginning of the End".
• Also, the chorus from "Mister Superstar" is somewhat similar to The Beatles' "A Day in the Life". Compare Manson's "I know that I can turn you on / I wish I could just turn you off" to Lennon's "But I just had to look / Having read the book / I love to turn you on."
