Spread me open, stuck to my ribs<br> are all your infants in abortion<br> cribs. Disease, disease is draining<br> me, anymore it's not so "pretty<br> please." Satan is a glass of milk<br> and a bedtime story that mommy<br> and daddy jesus scare babies into<br> submission with. Fascism spreads its<br> cancerous tendrils into the soft guts<br> of bible-belt wearing white trash,<br> organizing their lives around old<br> testament cartoon characters. We<br> fuck each other with hatred and<br> kill the things we love. We<br> scapegoat what we don't<br> understand. 13 year-olds, dirty<br> and swollen, are sold into a<br> porno-nation, sedated and<br> devoured by their fathers. With its<br> rabbit ears smugly erect, the t.v.<br> talks in hard-ons and acne<br> medicine while a boy dreams of<br> stardom and lives in fear of<br> failure. Denial leads to addiction<br> that leads to denial. Sadistic and<br> constantly inflicting a slow demise.<br> Who ever said tricks were for kids?<br> Do you wanna see me pull a<br> rabbit (monkey) out of my hat<br> (back)? I have never pretended to<br> be anything but an asshole. I am<br> what you make me. I'm<br> everything you hate and all you<br> think of being. I am nothing but<br> your fear. And a fear of<br> something will only call it near, in<br> the end only fear is here. Our<br> substance-abusing, sexually<br> deviant, devil-worshipping<br> children are not the "problem."<br> They (we) are merely a symptom<br> of Christian America, the biggest<br> Satan of all.<br> Save yourself (me),<br> M. Manson<br> <br>

Trivia

• The cassette was titled after the incident where following the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca on August 10, 1969, Patricia Krenwinkel, a member of the infamous Manson Family, wrote the phrase "<small>HEALTER SKELTER</small>" (a misspelling of the title of the popular Beatles song) on the LaBianca's refrigerator using a blood-soaked piece of paper.
• The version of "Dope Hat" that appears on Refrigerator is the exact same recording that is featured on The Family Jams.
• In the credits section, the words, "Spread me open, stuck to my ribs, are all your infants in abortion cribs," would later be reworked into the song "Man That You Fear."
