"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is the first and only single of the first EP Smells Like Children, originally written and performed by Eurythmics in 1982. The song became an MTV-staple and helped to establish the band in the mainstream. Manson often comes up with song inspiration in his dreams, but the idea to cover this song came from his first acid trip, according to his autobiography, The Long Hard Road out of Hell. He says that he hallucinated a "slower, meaner" version of the dance hit playing, sung in his voice. The earliest recording of the song dates back to June 1994 at the Portrait of an American Family release party.

Lyrics
sweet dreams are made of these
who am i to disagree?
travel the world and the seven seas
everybody's looking for something
some of them want to use you
some of them want to get used by you
some of them want to abuse you
some of them want to be abused
sweet dreams are made of these
who am i to disagree?
travel the world and the seven seas
everybody's looking for something
some of them want to use you
some of them want to get used by you
some of them want to abuse you
some of them want to be abused
i wanna use you and abuse you
i wanna know what's inside you
hold your head up, movin' on
keep your head up, movin' on
sweet dreams are made of these
who am i to disagree?
travel the world and the seven seas
everybody's looking for something
some of them want to use you
some of them want to get used by you
some of them want to abuse you
some of them want to be abused
i'm gonna use you and abuse you
i'm gonna know what's inside
gonna use you and abuse you
i'm gonna know what's inside you
