[Verse 1]
I hate a lot of things, I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff, 'cause then I don't have to try to make a change
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate teachers, I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone who's cool, yeah
I hate the office, I hate the Quad
Don't wanna learn nothing, I want to be a slob
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
[Verse 2]
I'm always thinking that I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down than build them up, it's easier that way
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate Dr. Martens and Muscle T's
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Liking something's just a waste of time
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Liking something's just a waste of time
Liking something's just a waste of time
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate me too, so fuck you
[Interlude]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Bridge]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
[Breakdown]
I'll cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
I'll cut you down, 'cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
[Pre-Chorus]
So, I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate your band and I hate TV
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
I hate a lot of things, I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff, 'cause then I don't have to try to make a change
