"Filth" is the sixth track on the 1993 release Refrigerator. It was planned to be officially released on the band's first studio album Portrait of an American Family but was replaced by "Wrapped in Plastic" instead. The song deals with issues related to the John Waters film "Pink Flamingos" movie that Manson mentioned as inspiration in his early age, especially in "Portrait of an American Family" album. The filth is a recurring theme in the concept of movie.

Lyrics[edit]
You bite the tin foil they give you
Your piano wire mind is detuned
You are amused by your confusion
Staple your face to mine if you're afraid to be alone
I'll mail you razorblades for Christmas
If you're so disgusted then leave the wicked way
You are confused by your amusement
The hypocrite will be the first to see the filth
You want to look like me
You want to look like. You want to live like me
You want to live like me
It's not the same, you don't mean a thing,
you're just another stain
This won't hurt...You should eat the shit you speak
You know you are what you think
Don't you try to touch me
You're no different from what you see
Don't you try to touch me
You're just as filthy as filth can be
Like a piñata you crack open
Your candy guts cascade in rainbow
You decay in your own containment
The sweetest insides are all coated with their filth
It's not the same, you don't mean a thing,
you're just another stain
You should eat the shit you speak
You know you are what you think
Don't you try to touch me
You're no different than what you see
Don't you try to touch me
You're just as filthy as filth can be
