Hate My Way (throwing Muses)

The Divine Comedy


I could be a smack freak 
And hate society 
I could hate God 
And blame Dad 
I might be in a Holocaust 
Hate Hitler 
Might not have a child 
And hate school 
I could be a sad lover 
And hate death 
I could be a neuro 
And hate sweat 
No 
I hate my way 

I make you in to some 
I can't rise above the church 
I'm caught in a jungle 
Vines tangle my hands 
I'm always so hot and it's hot in here 
I say it's all right 

My pillow screams too 
But so does my kitchen 
And water 
And my shoes 
And the road 
I have a gun in my head 
I'm invisible 
I can't find the ice 

A slug 
I'm TV 
I hate 

A boy was tangled in his bike forever 
A girl was missing two fingers 
Gerry Ann was confused 
Mr. Huberty 
Had a gun in his head 

So I sit up late in the morning 
And ask myself again 
How do they kill children? 
And why do I want to die? 
They can no longer move, 
I can no longer be still...
