Hateration

Ray Bans and spray tans
Wanting dessert... but there's an empty cake stand
Spending my 30s battling a waistband
Commuting anywhere when the train's rammed
Anti-abortion pro-lifers that take stands
The fact that a covers project is most musicians main band
Plays where they don't have an ending so they dance
And you can call me anything that you want but I hate trap
Charity management pay
People who tell me Premiership results before I've seen Match of the Day
That camera craze at gigs, put the damn thing away
Your video looks crap and the sound is the same
Katie Hopkins... and her friends
Tuka Sulliman from Dragon's Den
Posts on Facebook, Ooo tag a friend
In fact... promotion in general on social media
Is tedious and add people who call themselves a genius
That's for us to decide, and that fluff on a stylus
Making it jump all the time, is something that I just
Can't be doing with, like pantomimes
BS Hallmark holidays like Valentines
Greetings cards with generic messages
Appreciate the effort just write something genuine or don't get me one
Footy when two captains pick sides
And anyone who has those outdoor wind chimes

Cos there's nothing wrong with hating stuff
Everyone says that there is
But there's nothing wrong with hating stuff
When the stuff that you hate is shit
Said there's nothing wrong with hating stuff
Everyone acts like there is
But there's nothing better than hating stuff
When the stuff that you hate is shit

I love hating
I try to be an optimist
But honestly I get a lot of pleasure and catharsis from being negative
Cos I think the things that we hate are fairly relevant
In making us the people that we are, in fact it betters us
Cos hopefully you'll take things you don't like and leave em
And do the things you do like and that there's the reason
You can waste a lot of time trying to like summat you shouldn't
But hate is often dangerous in the hands of others
If a person of another race does you wrong it's ok
They're an arsehole and can be somebody you hate
But if you then hate the race cos of the actions of one
Then it's reasonable for people to call you a cunt
Hate should never be allowed to spread of its own accord
But in two thousand whatever there's definitely no remorse
And if you can't be trusted with hate then go cold turkey
The alcohol of my emotions, you're not worthy

But there's nowt wrong with me hating stuff
Everyone says that there is
But there's nothing wrong with me hating stuff
When the stuff that I hate is shit
Cos there's nothing wrong with hating stuff
Everyone acts like there is
But there's nothing better than hating stuff
When the stuff that you hate is shit

Like success with no effort
Showers with no pressure
The fact that in my twenties I was a go-getter
Now I sit around looking down in an old sweater
And shout, at the rest of the clowns that have done better
How is it they're fresher?
Their album sales spectacular
Didn't even go through their Twitter followers, blaggin' em
By the way I've got an album out why don't you check it?
They listened once on Spotify and left it
Forget it
I get wound up by hatred, I can feel destroyed
Looking at others when comparison's the thief of joy
It's because of competition that the scene's a void
As soon as people get their heads together dreams can join
But I can't talk, I'm a moody selfish stick in the mud
No time to hate yours when I think my shit isn't good
Listening to my own stuff thinking "this is just guff"
Thank God I've got my missus to keep lifting me up

So I probably shouldn't hate so much
Everyone knows it's my shtick
People don't even bother to show me stuff
Cos I'll probably say it's shit
But when I find summat that I like
I'll never stop going on about that
But 99% of the time these days
Everything I hear is crap

Said everything I see is crap
Said everything I watch is crap
Said everything I do is crap
And everything you do is crap
