"Irresponsible Hate Anthem" is the first track on the 1996 release Antichrist Superstar. The song attracted attention due to the liner notes of Antichrist Superstar, which state that [Irresponsible Hate Anthem was recorded live on February 14, 1997], despite the fact that the album was released on October 8, 1996 and is a studio recording.

As the album is cyclical, with both opening and closing seconds including the distorted phrase "When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you," when the album is placed on loop, the pacing between these sentences on "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" matches that of the additional distorted recitation found in the preceding, ninety-ninth track. "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" also contains an additional opening chant, "And all the children sing: 'We hate love, we love hate.'"

Lyrics

When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you
And all the children sing, We hate love We love hate
I am so all-american, I'd sell you suicide I am totalitarian, I've got abortions in my eyes I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper I am the animal who will not be himself
Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it
Hey victim, Should I black your eyes again? Hey victim, You were the one who put the stick in my hand I am the ism, my hate's a prism Let's just kill everyone and let your god sort them out
Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it
Everybody's someone else's nigger I know you are so am I I wasn't born with enough middle fingers I don't need to choose a side
I better, better, better, better not say this Better, better, better, better not tell I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper I am the idiot who will not be himself
Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it
Everybody's someone else's nigger I know you are so am I I wasn't born with enough middle fingers I don't need to choose a side
America cannot see anything, History was written by winners
Fuck it Fuck it Fuck it Fuck, fuck, fuck
Everybody's someone else's nigger I know you are so am I I wasn't born with enough middle fingers I don't need to choose a side
