Lyric discussion by TryingToBeHuman 

Cover art for I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me) lyrics by Marilyn Manson

This is one of the 7 songs on mechanical animals that are a satire on rock stars.

This song, in particular, glorifies the abuse of drugs and justifies it through his "rebellious" attitude toward the system. Its especially nihilistic among the other 6 in this group, being defeatist and pessimistic in a kind of "might-as-well" kind of message and giving ascent to drugs as the only thing people can resort to in order to escape from their problems.
