Old Mother Reagan
Old mother reagan
And her crew
Took away
From me and you
I hope she goes far away
She better go far away
Yknow it aint right
When its all wrong
This is the old mother reagan
Protest song
Old mother reagan
Shes so dumb
Shes so dangerous
How come...
Old mother reagan went to heaven
But at the pearly gates
She was stopped!

I Hate Myself
I hate myself for being so rude
I hate myself for watching them nude
I hate myself for crying alone in the dark
I hate myself that i did not made any one to notice my bark
I hate myself for my frantic work
I hate myself for being called defected, outdated, and jerk
I hate myself for distracting the attention
I hate myself for always getting detention
I hate myself for not smiling in my life ever
I hate myself for being so dumb and useless forever.
I hate myself for the manner-less things that I've done
I hate myself because I'm loved by none
I hate myself for losing myself in reading mysteries
I hate myself for not having my name in the book of histories
I hate myself for always over thinking on everything
I hate myself for refraining my thinking
I hate myself for living life stridently
I hate myself for living only in my nightmares particularly
I hate myself for the nobbling
I hate myself for my killing
I hate myself for all the pain that I've caused you mom
I hate myself as your 'son' was the poi-son of the home
I hate myself for everything
I hate myself as I let the stressful wail to sing.

Thanksgiving
I see no way out.
I feel a closing in.
Living this way, i won't live this way.
Its no way to live.
I am not grateful.
I am hateful.
I see stupid things,
So i say stupid things.
One thing i know i want to go
Where my heart can't hurt no more.
I am not grateful.
I am hateful.
I am not grateful.
I am painful.

Promise
Yknow that I want your loving
But my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen
And then my defensed say I didt want it anyway
But you know sometimes Im a lier
Could you ever want me to love you
Could you ever want me to care
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares
Cause just what Ive been thru
Is nothing like where Im going to
Give me some sign to persue
A promise
And your unhappy
This is only a guess
Do you know what its like to hate
When its way down deep inside
Oh God I hate whats been done to my life
I could rule the pain
I could rule the night
Or would I ruin my salvation
Ruin my mind rules your pains
Rulers of the night
Ruin your salvation
Ruin yor mind

I Hate...
I hate,
hate that I can't trust
I hate,
hate that I must lie because they'd rather believe I'm fine.
I hate,
hate who I've been.
I hate,
hate to make decisions.
I hate,
hate that I can't hate those I should.
I hate,
hate my life.
I hate,
hate that I can't die.
I hate,
hate to live in fear and hate.
I hate,
hate my uncertainty.
I hate,
hate the lies people tell me.
I hate,
hate that I believe.
I hate,
hate those that wish their lives were mine.
I hate,
hate all emotion that's mine.
I hate,
hate that I need others.
I hate,
hate my own d*mn incompetence.
I hate,
hate that there's so much to hate.

I Hate You.
I hate the way you dress
I hate that you are a mess
I hate your eyes
I hate your lies.
I hate it when you talk
I hate the way you walk
I hate your smile
I hate your style.
I hate your arms
I hate your charms
I hate your face
I hate your place.
I hate your hands
I hate your plans
I hate the way you think
I hate it when you drink.
I hate when you call
I hate it all
I hate it that you are true
I hate you when I’m blue.
I hate you when you sleep
I hate you very deep
I hate the way you kiss
I hate to be like this.
I hate your touch
I hate you much
I hate myself more
I hate that’s you I adore.
I hate, I don’t hate you a bit
I hate, I will have to admit
I don’t hate you, Not even small
I don’t hate you at all.

Breakin Up
Now every once in a while
Theres a crack in my smile
Dark voices are talking to me
Dark voices tell me the way
Its supposed to be
They said breakin up
They said its hard to do
But what they say
About breakin up
Yknow its just not true
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Why if you know
Why did you have to go
And leave me on t he floor
About as sick as a dog
Im feeding my face
Like a bleary-eyed hog
Whyd it have to stop
With so much good undone
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Yknow I break up every time
I break up with you

I hate that you say you,
Care but you don't.

Mad and take it out,
On me.

Talk to me

Make me feel.

I hate you for lying
I hate how you say,
You love me.
I hate you for treating,

I hate you for who you,

I hate that you fooled,

I hate the way you,
Stay down low.
I hate the way you,
Made me feel
I hate that you hurt,
Me.
I hate you.
I hate you blamed it,
All on me
I hate everything you,
Do to me.
I hate you for all your lies,
And broken promises
I hate the way I met you.
I wish I never Did.
I hate you with all of my,
Being.
I HATE YOU.

Hate Who Hate
I hate those who hate,
I hate myself for not knowing what to hate,
I hate life,
I hate love,
I hate not knowing of my upcoming strife
I hate not know of my oncoming love,
I hate those who hate,
I hate myself
I'd stop to hate for gold of my weight,
I hate all those with wealth,
I hate those who harm,
I hate those who hurt,
I hate those who use their charm,
To put others in the dirt,
I hate living as I ache,
I hate living in earth wake,
I hate people who hate,
I being the one who must be to forsake
Those who hate, must hate me
Because of thou hate I hate thee,
The point i must make,
Leaving myself without this weight
Is that I love to hate,
And all love hate when you hate what they hate.

Please Do Not Go
Tell you man Im stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me uknow she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Please please please do not go
How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Now I wonder what she would say
If I told her that I felt this way
Yknow it might make her turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray
Pray pray pray pray
Tell yuo man Im stuck on this lovely girl
And yknow I could travel all over the whole world
Please please please do not go
You hurt me so
I got something to show you

The Hate That I Loved
I hate that you changed.
I hate that you’re the same.
I hate that you left.
I hate how you’ve stayed.
I hate how I cry.
I hate how you make me smile.
I hate how I miss you.
I hate how I feel.
I hate how it hurts.
I hate that it’s my fault.
I hate that it’s yours.
I hate that I can’t be around you.
I hate how I’ve lost you.
I hate how I’ve found out who you really are.
I hate that I can’t tell you any of this.
But most of all,
I hate how I can’t hate you,
Not even a little.
I hate how I still love you

I Wanna See You Again
I wanna see you again.
I dont care where and I dont care when.
I wanna see you again,
Cause this beginning will have no end.
Bring your whips, bring your chains.
We can exchange names.
I wanna see you again.
I wanna see you again.
I feel a feeling since I dont know when.
I wanna see you again,
So you can know you have a friend.
Youre so passive.
Im filled with wrath.
We could take a bath.
I wanna see you again.
Oh, theirs talk of the lights on broadway
And hearts intwining high above,
And if frankly well see things my way,
We will climb the heights of love.
I wanna see you again.
It doesnt matter where or when.
I wanna see you again.
Im just beginning to have no end.
Perfect love.
Cast out fear.
Let me, buy you a beer.
I wanna see you again,
And again,
And again.
I wanna see you again.
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Please Do Not Hate Me!
Please do not hate me because of the colour of my skin
Please do not hate me because your God I don't believe in
Please do not hate me if I don’t kneel down and pray
Please do not hate me for what elected politicians might say
Please do not hate me if I don’t dress the way you do
Please do not hate me for not sharing your political view
Please do not hate me because of what others have said
Please do not hate me I don’t want to see us both dead
Please do not hate me because of some conflict or war
Please do not hate me, as it’s friendship I’m looking for
Please do not hate me just because you do not understand
Please do not hate me for wanting to shake you by the hand
Please do not hate me we have too many fences to mend
Please do not hate me I only called you to be my best friend

I hate that I don't hate you
I hate that you left me
I have that I fell for you
I hate that your smile haunts
I hate that you died
I hate that I can't be angry
I hate that I'm upset
I hate that you wanted this
I hate that I wasn't enough
I hate that I couldn't make you happy
I hate that your gone
I hate that I don't hate you
I hate that your laugh is gone
I hate your gentle kisses
I hate your friends for not crying
I hate that I can't stop crying
I hate that life goes on
I hate that your not actually dead
I hate your choices
I hate the drugs that you love
I hate I feel that your dead
I hate you're no longer mine
I hate the people you now call friends
I hate the men you sleep with
I hate your dad for what he's done
I hate seeing you so unhappy
I hate so many things but the one
I hate the most
I hate that I love you
I hate I would die for you
I hate I'll never get over you
I hate this new you
I hate myself for not hating you
