Disposable Teens
Marilyn Manson Lyrics

And I'm a black rainbow
Manson sees himself as a dark and destructive force

And I'm an ape of god
Manson sees himself as both animalistic and godlike

I got a face that's made for violence upon
Manson's appearance is intimidating and made for aggression

And I'm a teen distortion
Manson feels like a distorted and rebellious version of a teenager

Survived abortion
Manson addresses the fact that he wasn't wanted by his mother and survived an abortion

A rebel from the waist down
Manson is a rebel in his sexual desires as well as his actions

I wanna thank you mom
Manson is being sarcastic, blaming his parents for bringing him into a screwed up world

I wanna thank you dad
Manson continues his sarcastic thanks to his parents

For bringing this fucking world
He blames their actions for the state of the world

To a bitter end
Their actions will result in a negative outcome

I never really hated the one true god
Manson clarifies that he doesn't hate the Christian God, but rather the idea of God that people have created

But the god of the people I hated
He hates the way people use religion to control and justify their own hateful actions

You said you wanted evolution
Society wants to evolve and progress

The ape was a great big hit
But Manson sees the regression of society to primal, animalistic behavior as a success

You said you wanted revolution, man
People also say they want a revolution

And I say that you're full of shit
Manson doesn't believe that they truly want a revolution and are being insincere

We're disposable teens
Manson sees teenagers as disposable to society's needs and wants

The more that you fear us the bigger we get
Manson and fellow 'disposable teens' gain power from society's fear of them

And don't be suprised, don't be suprised
He warns people not to be caught off guard by the actions of teenagers

When we destroy all of it
Manson suggests that the actions of teenagers will ultimately lead to the destruction of society
