What I Hate

Bear Quartet · My War [2000]

I know what they say

But not why I'm still listening

Clever how they speculate

Even in honesty

Afraid that I'm like them

Or what they want me to be

I've heard that all power

Comes from the people but

It never returns

Then why is this pressure still building



What I hate what I hate

The cowardice within

The media posses

The monstrous cheers

From the corporate societies



What I hate what I hate

The economic elite

Every fascist heartbeat

Every bank on the market

The most sacred consumers



What I hate what I hate

Everything that thrives

On hopelessness and less

The contempt for the weaker

The cries for one leader



What I hate what I hate

The constant etceteras

That ignores everyone

Without the proper

Hallelujah or background



What I hate my own hate

Wearing me out

I've self-medicated

Self-pity turned into self-hatred



What I hate to be part

Of this everyday

I must find

An excuse for my life

But I wont refuse

What I hate mustn't hate

What I hate mustn't hate
