Disposable Teens
Marilyn Manson · Lest We Forget [2008]
And I'm an ape of God
I got a face that's made for violence and porn
And I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion
A rebel from the waist down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
For bringing this fucking world to a bitter end
I never really hated the one true God
But the God of the people I hated
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big hit
You said you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big hit
You said you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The more that you fear us, the bigger we get
The more that you fear us, the bigger we get
And don't be surprised
And don't be surprised
And don't be surprised when you discover it!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big hit
You said you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You said you wanted evolution
The ape with the great big hit
You said you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Disposable Teens
Released in 2008, Disposable Teens serves as a standout track on Marilyn Manson's compilation album Lest We Forget. The song captures the artist's signature industrial and shock-rock aesthetic, blending theatrical vocals with a driving, aggressive rhythm. As part of a collection designed to highlight his most significant recordings, the track reflects Manson's enduring exploration of consumerism and societal decay. It stands alongside other notable works from his extensive discography, showcasing his ability to craft anthems that resonate with themes of transience and modern alienation. The recording remains a definitive example of his mid-career sound, appealing to long-time fans and newcomers alike through its polished production and intense energy.
