You keep on accusing me
|
Of making your life misery
|
But if that's not abusing me, what isn't
|
You wanna be my friend, well it's too late
|
My love for you has turned to hate
|
And I think that it's a permanent condition
|
You say you wanna make the peace
|
Smile and turn the other cheek
|
I can't put myself in such a weak position
|
Now I'm willing to accept this fate
|
You and me just can't cohabitate
|
We agree to hate and that's our fast decision
|
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that keeps us together
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that lasts forever
|
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
ON the surface I'm a mild-mannered person
|
That's until you scratch the animal inside
|
Then you bring out all my animal aggression
|
I gotta hatred for you that is never gonna die
|
Driven to hate, driven to hate
|
Driven to hate, driven to hate
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that lasts forever
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that keeps us together
|
|
While races try to integrate
|
Nations try to gravitate
|
Towards equal rights, regardless of religion
|
Politicians might decree
|
For the sake of humanity
|
Love and peace instead of a collision
|
You and me accept reality
|
There's no way that we can agree
|
The world can't make us alter this position
|
At least you and I know where we stand
|
We can't be friends, walk hand in hand
|
My hostility for you defies description
|
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that keeps us together
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that lasts forever
|
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
Hate's the only thing we have in common
|
There's no escape, we'll always be this way
|
So we might as well just learn to live together
|
'Cos we're gonna be this way till our dying day
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
Driven by hate, driven by hate
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
If you keep on putting me down
|
Rub my name into the ground
|
I'll drag the dirt all over town about you
|
And if you spread the filth on me
|
I'll only have one remedy
|
I'll spill the beans, you'll see I've got a mouth, too
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
Yeah, hatred
|
Your attitude is downright rude
|
Your jokes appall me, they're so crude
|
Why don't you just drop dead and don't recover
|
I'm the mirror to your mood
|
You hate me and I hate you
|
So at least we understand each other
|
Hatred, hatred is the only thing that lasts, what is it?
|
Hatred, hatred
|
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that lasts forever
|
Hatred, hatred
|
Is the only thing that lasts forever
|
