Irresponsible Hate Anthem predates this album and mechanical animals by telling what the society had become after the events of the past, and takes place after the bullets, after the flies, and after authorities had taken out his eyes. Its a telling of how society became after the events of HOLY WOOD (in the shadow of the valley of death). And it also sets up the story that The Beautiful People begins. The beginning of the end, if you will.
This is a story from the point of view of the worm. How he sees society. And a couple of the lines:
"The horrible people, the horrible people"
"Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned Fascism will take it away"
..were the worm's opinion of this society.
In other words, this society would--in the future--make a monster out of him because of his upbrining.
In a real-world aspect, this song is a satire on American society as Marilyn Manson sees it. The same goes for Irresponsible Hate Anthem.
