Cover art for Irresponsible Hate Anthem lyrics by Marilyn Manson

Firstly, darkwing is an idiot. Now we can move on.

I swear I saw _blast do another song, and that was pretty spot-on, but I don't think you're right in this case, sorry. Everyone's free to an opinion, all that shit, but here's mine ;)

"I am so all-american, I'll sell you suicide I am totalitarian, I've got abortions in my eyes"

I see this as more relating the two to each other than contrasting the viewpoints. Manson has often expressed disdain about the common perception America holds of itself as 'land of the free', I feel this might be hitting back against that. The media is used to control the public in an almost totalitarian fashion, except rather than one organisation controlling it (ie: government), it's many organisations working together.

"I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper I am not the animal who will not be himself"

This, for me, has always felt like lashing out at those who made him the man he was. He hates the people who hated him, he'd rape the person who raped him, etc.

"fuck it"

Purely anger.

"Hey victim, should I black your eyes again? Hey victim, you were the one who put the stick in my hand"

Lashing out at a society that plays victim to "offensive music". Sarcastically, he asks if he should hurt the "victim" some more, before stating plainly that it was society that fucked him over in the first place.

"I am the ism, my hate's a prism let's jut kill everyone and let your god sort them out fuck it"

-ism, as in communism, fascism, etc. America has always had some doctrine or another as it's enemy, and now it's him. Prism is meant as a flawless shape - his hatred is perfect and complete. The next line is self explanatory.

"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"

The nigger line has been over countless times, and middle fingers is self-explanatory, so I'll skip to the last line here.

Why would Manson have to chose a side, when he is "the enemy", the "nigger"?

"I better, better, better, better not say this better, better, better, better not tell"

Like blast said, sarcasm. America doesn't want to hear what he's saying, he better not, it might offend people... FUCK IT!
