"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.'"

When asked by Guitar World about Zim Zum, who had recently joined the band, Marilyn Manson claimed "He plays the first track on the album, which is a live track. It hasn't really been recorded yet," in reference to "Irresponsible Hate Anthem," with Twiggy Ramirez adding, "We figured out time travel." Manson goes on to explain, "Our keyboardist uses his computer with a lot of old Hebrew Kabbalism and numerology, complicated equations that only he understands. But that, combined with extreme drug abuse, has given us the ability to capture and record things from different eras. We recorded "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" in February of next year."[1]

Lyrics

    When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you     
    We hate love, We love hate
    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
    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
    America cannot see anything
    America cannot see anything
    History is written by the winner



    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
