Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate a lot of things
I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff 'cause then I don't have to try and make a change
I hate teachers
I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone who's cool, yeah
I hate the office
I hate the quad
Don't want to learn nothing, I want to be a slob
[Verse 2]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
[Verse 3]
I'm always thinking bad
I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down than build them up
It's easier that way
I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks
I hate Doc Martins and muscle tees
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Verse 4]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Liking something's just a waste of time
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Liking something's just a waste of time
Liking something's just a waste of time
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate me too, so fuck you
[Verse 5]
Hey
Hey
Hey
[Verse 6]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
I'll cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
I'll cut you down 'cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
[Verse 7]
I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks
I hate your band
And I hate T.V.
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Verse 8]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
Don't like nothing and I like that fine
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
