1996 Lyrics
[Intro]
Light a candle for the sinners
Set the world on fire
[Verse 1]
Anti choice and anti girl
I am the anti-flag unfurled
Anti white and anti man
I got the anti-future plan
Anti fascist, anti mod
I am the anti-music god
Anti sober, anti whore
There will never be enough of anti more
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
[Verse 2]
Anti money, anti hate
Anti things I fucked and ate
Anti cop and anti fun
Here is my anti-President gun
Anti Satan, anti black
The anti world is on my back
Anti gay and anti dope
I am the faggot anti-Pope
Light a candle for the sinners
Set the world on fire
[Verse 1]
Anti choice and anti girl
I am the anti-flag unfurled
Anti white and anti man
I got the anti-future plan
Anti fascist, anti mod
I am the anti-music god
Anti sober, anti whore
There will never be enough of anti more
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
[Verse 2]
Anti money, anti hate
Anti things I fucked and ate
Anti cop and anti fun
Here is my anti-President gun
Anti Satan, anti black
The anti world is on my back
Anti gay and anti dope
I am the faggot anti-Pope
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
[Bridge]
This is where your faith ends
1996! 1996! 1996! 1996!
[Verse 3]
Anti peace and anti life
Anti husband, anti wife
Anti song and anti me
I don't deserve a chance to be
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
[Bridge]
This is where your faith ends
1996! 1996! 1996! 1996!
[Verse 3]
Anti peace and anti life
Anti husband, anti wife
Anti song and anti me
I don't deserve a chance to be
[Chorus]
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar
About
Genius Annotation
This song is about Manson incorporating both the contradictions of society and whats expected of himself, that is, the political correctness coupled with the drug-induced destruction of expression, thought and life that made western civilization become one that is inhuman, even anti-human, anti-life. The values are so twisted, so filled with hate and oppression, ours lives are so blank and artificial, any form of free and natural expression is opposed and stigmatized, so Manson comes as the Antichrist, which the anti-people deserve.
