I Hate Lyrics by Overkill

The Years of Decay

1989

[Verse 1]
Got so much trouble, hate this job
Tried to get out, trapped like a dog
No, I don't like pumpin' gas
Do ya hate to wait?
Life's a game, we play your rules
Bottle half empty or the bottle half full?
It does no good, no good to shout
But I scream, "I hate!"

[Pre-Chorus]
Say I'm hostile, gotta relax
Gotta get a grip, here's the facts:
I hate being here

[Chorus]
I hate people that make ya feel small
I hate havin' my back against the wall
You know I hate bein' talked down to
I hate your rules, I hate 'em all
Hate bein' marked to take the fall
Planet's not big enough for me and you

[Verse 2]
So much trouble over me
Surrounded by jerks, can't ya see?
Smile to my face, I know ya lie
Knife in the back
Another game, rules, rules, rules
Not for me, you fuckin' fool
Open your mouth just one more time
And my foot's goin' down

[Pre-Chorus]
In one ear, out the other
A waste of time, don't even bother
I hate bein' here

[Chorus]
I hate people that make ya feel small
I hate havin' my back against the wall
You know I hate bein' talked down to
I hate your rules, I hate 'em all
Hate bein' marked to take the fall
Planet's not big enough for me and you
But most of all, I hate you

[Post-Chorus]
You, I hate you
You, I hate you
I hate, I hate, I hate
I hate you

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I hate people that make ya feel small
I hate havin' my back against the wall
You know I hate bein' talked down to
I hate your rules, I hate 'em all
Hate bein' marked to take the fall
Planet's not big enough for me and you
But most of all, I hate you

[Verse 3]
Think I know how ya got this far
Think I know how ya got where ya are
Think I'll hate you when you're dead
I know I'll hate you
Smile to my face, know ya lie
Say I got problems, ask yourself why
Hate the games, I hate the rules
You're gonna lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Say I'm hostile, gotta relax
Better get a grip, here's a fact:
Not much more of you

[Chorus]
I hate people that make ya feel small
I hate havin' my back against the wall
You know I hate bein' talked down to
I hate your rules, I hate 'em all
Hate bein' marked to take the fall
Planet's not big enough for me and you
But most of all, I hate you

[Post-Chorus]
I hate people that make ya feel small
I hate you
I hate havin' my back against the wall
I hate you
I hate bein' talked down to

I hate you
I hate your rules, every one
I hate you
Hate havin' counted you number one
I hate bein' placed at number two
But most of all, I hate you

[Outro]
And I hate you
I hate you
I hate
