Disposable Teens

"Disposable Teens"

"Disposable Teens" is the first single of the fourth album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). It is seen as somewhat of a teenage anthem, echoing what Manson sees as teenagers who act violently in retaliation against parental and social authority.

There were two music videos made for the song. The original version features prominent symbols of Holy Wood such as Manson playing a priest, and the ape.

Lyrics

    And I'm a black rainbow
    And I'm an ape of god
    I've got a face that's made for violence upon
    And I'm a teen distortion
    Survived abortion
    A rebel from the waist down
    
    I wanna thank you mom
    I wanna thank you dad
    For bringing this fucking world
    To a bitter end
    I never really hated the one true god
    but the god of the people I hated
    
    You said you wanted evolution
    The ape was a great big hit
    You say you want a revolution, man
    And I say that you're full of shit
    
    We're disposable teens
    We're disposable teens
    We're disposable

    You said you wanted evolution
    The ape was a great big hit
    You say you want a revolution, man
    And I say that you're full of shit
    
    The more that you fear us
    The bigger we get
    The more that you fear us
    The bigger we get
    And don't be surprised, don't be surprised
    Don't be surprised when we destroy all of it
    
    You said you wanted evolution
    The ape was a great big hit
    You say you want a revolution, man
    And I say that you're full of shit

    We're disposable teens
    We're disposable teens
    We're disposable
