Hate Song lyrics

Dont look around at the scenery today

'Cause you probably won't understand it

Don't settle down in a permanent way

'Cause you haven't the right to demand it

[Refrain]

I'm writin' you a hate song

I don't wanna have to hold your hand

I'm writin' you a hate song

And I'm hopin' that you'll understand

Let it be said that it hasn't been said

When there wasn't the will to unearth it

Relive the germs to awaken the worms

Just to ask them if its worth it

So lets get one thing straight:

The halls have narrowed, leaving aphids in the marrow

[Refrain]

So you say "So"

And I say "What"

And the difference ain't worth debating

I never wanted to be mud in the face

But I couldn't have known what was waiting

(I couldn't have known what was waiting)

(I couldn't have known what was waiting)

[Refrain]

I'm writing you a hate song

I don't wanna...

No, I don't wanna...

I'm writin' you a hate song

I don't wanna...

No, I don't wanna...

No, I don't wanna... [x6]
