Nobody likes me
It's all my fault
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me

Oh, yes we all like you
We like you a lot
Yes we all like you
Yes we all like you

I never get a letter
We have no time
Never ever get a call from you
We have no dime

Oh, yes you do
Oh, no we don't
Oh, yes you do
Oh, no we don't

Yes you do
No we don't
Yes you do
No we don't

Yes, no
Yes, no
Yes, no
Yes

Yes, no
Yes, no
Yes, no
Yes, no

Never call, never write
Yes we do always try
Make me cry all the night
Sorry we made you cry

Make me mad, make me sad
Tell me true, what can I do?
Way too late can't make up
All the hate has built up

Alright we all hate you
We hate you a lot
We hate all your family
We hate your dog Spot

Even Spot?
Yes

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
