Brand New Hate
Backyard Babies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Makin' enemies is good
Makin' enemies is good
Makin' enemies is good

More to loose than necessary
And far too much to gain
I'm going down, down, down, down
Hide the pain

Of all the sharks in all the waters
I cut but I don't bleed
And you can feed me babe, feed me babe
It's all I need

And makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
Yeah!

Mind over matter
Mind over matter

Try to make a monkey of me
And I'll swing back and say
You make it easy man, easy man
It's a holiday

I don't need your fake assed friendship
Or your silicon sympathy
You've got a brand new fuck you enemy

And makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
Yeah!

Mind over matter
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
Mind over matter

I don't hear you I don't need to
I don't hear you I don't need to

Waaah!

And makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you
Makin' enemies is good
I've got a brand new hate for you

First backyard Babies song I ever heard. Saw the video on mtv. Been a lifetime fan ever since. Saw them more times than I can count

Purple Man

You can listen to this song nowadays and realize it is a great song, even a potential hit. The problem was it came after Total 13, absolute masterpiece, with a totally different vibe and totally different intentions. There was clearly an attempt to get huge with "Brand new hate", and while it might not be as obvious now, you could totally feel it if you lived the process in real time.

I saw this video on a random rock tv station one day. I thought it was awesome and didn't think much more of it then i saw they were on the lineup for a local festival. I beat my way to the front of the crowd and watched them. they were so good i left the festival and went to the next town to watch them again. been a fan ever since. now i live in the middle east and they will never come here fml

Mr Brownstone

No idea why anyone is referring to this as punk. Its good old fashioned rock n roll.

zimon1997

Totally rock n' roll yeah! But it got a bit sound of mordern punk, but it's still more rock than punk.

Alessandro Parma

sleaze is the right definition, fucking dirty, louder and hard sleaze rock
