"This Is the New Shit" is the second and final single of the fifth album The Golden Age of Grotesque. The song was seen as poppy, with the chorus - and title - possibly referring to the fact that Tim Skold had joined the band, bringing with him a completely new and different style of music that featured industrial beats and sounds previously ignored in earlier Manson albums. While this could be regarded as Manson's attempt to sell to the masses, the song in fact is railing against contemporary music, i.e., 'the new shit', and goes so far as to spell out what Manson viewed the formula for mainstream success to be:

"Babble, babble, bitch, bitch, rebel, rebel, party, party, sex, sex, sex, and don't forget the violence, blah, blah, blah, got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely, stick your stupid slogan in, everybody sing along."

The music video, co-directed between Marilyn Manson and the Croenworths, features a basic performance by the band, intertwined with scenes of the band members preparing for a concert in the dressing rooms. An alternate vocal-recording was used with the lyrics "This is the new hit" and the song title reading "This Is the New *Hit."

[edit] Lyrics

    Everything's been said before
    There's nothing left to say anymore
    When it's all the same

    Babble babble bitch bitch
    Rebel rebel party party
    Sex sex sex and don't forget the "violence"
    Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely
    Stick your STUPID SLOGAN in:
    Everybody sing along.
    Babble babble bitch bitch
    Rebel rebel party party
    Sex sex sex and don't forget the "violence"
    Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely
