They Hate Us Songtext
von Glenn Richards

Of all our middling works, all our charitats
(They hate us)
Fall on deaf ears, all our words to wise
(They hate us)
No good and impetuous they seem to guide us
More good than ill, the light on the hill

They hate us like the heart hates the heroin
They hate us like the popular song
They hate us more than the American
Than they ever hated him
Despite our offerings

Maybe it′s apple and beer, forgetting the worm
(They hate us)
Spurn the little snake, see the world turn
(They hate us)
Got a hook, got a line, might make you smile or cry
Might send you up, might send you down


They hate us like the heart hates the heroin
They hate us like the harbinger song
They hate us more than the sinner hates the sin
When it puts him in a spin
They're completed

I know hatred, I hate us too
(It′s true)
Every race, every colour in this dying island zoo
(Sad but true)
Every year a little bit less like getting to know you
Nothing new beneath the sun, nothing new

I hate us like the heart hates the heroin
I hate us like the harbinger song
I hate us more than the farmer hates the field
For the disappointing yield
Being fallowed

They hate us like the heart hates the heroin
They hate us like the popular song
They hate us more than the singer hates to sing
Of the very thing that loves him
