[edit] 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
[edit] 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". The poem can be read on page 58 of Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell.
- The song features the same riff as "She's Not My Girlfriend", a song from Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids' 1990 cassette Grist-o-Line, albeit played faster. Curiously, Twiggy Ramirez is given sole credit for writing "1996", despite Daisy Berkowitz having composed the riff lifted from "She's Not My Girlfriend" several years before Ramirez had even joined the band.
