NOTEWORTHY LYRICS (10)

In which I extract the poetry from popular song lyrics.

Warning: If you are easily offended by bad language please piss off.

I've already cited 'Passenger', a current favourite of mine, and this is another song which I've just discovered. The lyrics, by Michael David Rosenberg, are full of swearing, full of hate and full of brutal honesty. I love it.

I Hate

I hate racist blokes, telling tasteless jokes

And explaining where people belong

I hate ignorant folks, that pay money to see gigs

And then talk through every fucking song

I hate people in night clubs, snorting coke

And explaining where you're going wrong

And so if you agree, then come hating with me

And feel free to sing along

...

Well I hate pointless status updates on Facebook

FYI we were never "m8"s

We pretend to be friends on the internet

When in real life, we have nothing to say

To each other, oh brother I have love for my mother

For good times, for music and my mates

Yeah I laugh, and I live and I have love to give

But sometimes all you can do is hate

...

Well I hate them fussy eaters, you cook them fajitas

They only eat pizza and chips

I hate stepping outside, for a smoke and some guy

Coughs, like your lungs are his

And I hate queuing up, for festival toilets

Especially when you need a shit

And I hate the X-Factor, for murdering music

You bunch of money-grabbing pricks

...

And I hate them magazines, aimed at insecure teens

That make ten year old's race to grow up

Hey kids, let's all be anorexic or better

Eat chocolate until you throw up

Keep your Hollywood stars, and their stupid cars

And the Bo-tox, that makes them look fucked

Just grow old with grace, have you seen Cher's face

She looks like she's been hit by a truck
