    I’d like to point out the actual lyric is ‘made of this’, not ‘made of these’ as most people hear it.

      That’s such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word “disagree.”

      Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word “this.” She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word “these.” Art is weird.

        Controversial opinion: Marilyn Manson’s version is superior.

        Also he says these.

        She says more “theeeeeeis”, there’s a hint of an “is” sound at the end of the word.

        I don’t get it. It’s meant to rhyme with “disagree”, and it’s not like the song is interpreted differently if it’s “these” vs “this”.

        So, funny enough the actual lyric is “disagris”, not “disagree” Annie Lennox just says it a little differently, but they both rhyme.
