Irresponsible Hate Anthem

Marilyn Manson's 'Irresponsible Hate Anthem' is a song that embodies the artist's penchant for controversy and social commentary. The lyrics are a deliberate provocation, designed to shock and challenge the listener's perceptions of societal norms and personal identity. The opening lines, 'I am so all American I'd sell you suicide / I am totalitarian I've got abortion in my eyes,' set the tone for a song that is unapologetically confrontational, addressing themes of American consumerism, political extremism, and the commodification of controversial issues.

The chorus, 'Everybody's someone else's nigger / I know you are so am I,' uses a highly charged word to make a point about universal prejudice and the dehumanization of individuals. Manson's use of the word is meant to reflect the idea that everyone, at some point, is treated as lesser by someone else, regardless of race or background. The line 'I wasn't born with enough middle fingers' suggests a deep-seated frustration with the need to constantly take sides or defend oneself against societal expectations and judgments.

The song's aggressive tone and Manson's vocal delivery underscore the themes of anger and rebellion against the status quo. The repeated phrase 'Fuck it' serves as a nihilistic refrain, rejecting the idea of conforming to societal norms or caring about the consequences of one's actions. Manson's message is complex, as he simultaneously criticizes the act of hate while embodying the role of the hater, challenging listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and the nature of hate itself.
