All the goose-step girlies - A reference to nazism, goosestepping was the nazi march. Goose-steppers are the nazi-military boots.
Swing and heil, I don't really care what gentlemen prefer. - I'm begining to sense a song most likely about the masochism/sadomasochism scene.
"Bonafide ballers, so manically depressed
And manically dressed" - Now this isn't exactly about what I've been thinking about. But manic-depression is a psychological disorder now known as 'bipolar disorder'.
We got our "Venus Not In Furs"
But "In Uniforms." - And we have a song about masochism and sadomasochism. Venus in Furs was a book written by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch. It was about a man named Severin who was in love with a brutal woman who wore ermine furs and took sexual pleasure from enslaving, beating, and humuliating men. And he took sexual pleasure from the pain she dealt him. And this talks about a Venus in uniforms, which is another big part in the masochism fetish. Many masochists enjoy nazi-esque fetishism when being 'tortured'.
It goes on to talk mostly about doppelgangers, etc. A doppelganger is German for 'double', specifically, a 'copy' of a person. Hitler was rumored to have a doppelganger. At this point he may be pointing out how so many people tend to copy one another rather than find who they are individually.
I think it is Manson's fans who are "manically depressed and manically dressed." There is a big tradition of dressing up like him, wearing the crazy make-up, and such at his concerts. So the fans themselves could be considered his doppelgangers.

Wow. Marilyn Manson is well read, eh?
