The removed songs were the original opening track, "[[Abuse, Part 1 (There Is Pain Involved)]]", featuring Manson and Danzig tour driver Tony Wiggins speaking to a masochistic girl, attempting to calm her down when things get really out of hand, and "[[Abuse, Part 2 (Confessions)]]", featuring an interview with a teenage girl who confesses to molesting her 6-year-old cousin.
