Cool to Hate
The Offspring Lyrics

I hate a lot of things
I have a dislike for many things in my life

I hate a lot of people that are lame
There are many people in my life that I think are uncool, and therefore, dislike

I like to hate stuff
Rather than making an effort to improve things, I tend to focus on things I dislike

'Cause then I don't have to try and make a change
By concentrating on things I hate, I don't have to put in the effort to bring positive change

I hate teachers I hate school
Teachers and school are two of the many things in my life that I dislike

I hate the cheerleaders
I also have a strong dislike for the cheerleaders

And anyone who's cool, yeah
I tend to dislike people who are popular or socially accepted

I hate the office
The work or professional environment is another thing that I dislike

I hate the Quad
Even the campus itself is not exempt from my dislike

Don't want to learn nothing
I have no interest in gaining knowledge, skills or new experiences

I want to be a slob
I aspire to be a person who is messy and untidy, without any care or hygiene

It's cool to hate (hate) it's cool to hate
In my perspective, it is socially acceptable and even fashionable to have a negative attitude towards many things or people

Don't like nothing and I like that fine
I am content with having nothing that I enjoy in life

Yeah I hate everything I even hate you too
I have negative feelings towards everything and everyone, even towards the person listening to this song

So fuck you
I express my contempt towards you and others through this curse word

I'm always thinking bad
My thoughts and focus tend to be negative and pessimistic

I never have nothing good to say
I lack a positive perspective and my speech reflects that

I'd rather tear things down than build them up
My tendency is to criticize and condemn rather than support or encourage

It's easier that way
This negative viewpoint is the easy and comfortable way for me to live

I hate the jocks and
The athletic and popular students are another group of people that I dislike

I hate the geeks
Even the studious and intellectual individuals are not exempt from my negative attitude

I hate the trendies But I also hate the freaks yeah
I even have negative feelings towards those who follow the latest trends as well as those who follow alternative or unconventional lifestyles

I hate your band and
I dislike your taste in music and the band that you enjoy

I hate TV
Even television and media entertainment receive my negative feelings and dislike

I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
I am most comfortable when I am unhappy or dissatisfied with my surroundings and situations

Liking something's just a waste of time
In my viewpoint, having a positive attitude towards anything or anyone is pointless and time-wasting

Hey
This is a vocable that expresses an informal greeting or attention-seeking

I'll cut you down and give you lip
I am willing and capable of verbally attacking and invalidating you

Being positive's so unhip
A positive attitude is not trendy, fashionable or cool in my opinion

I'll cut you down 'cause I'm a fool
I insult and criticize people because I am foolish or misguided in my perspective and values

Being positive's so uncool
A positive attitude is not considered cool or desirable by me

Being positive's so uncool
A positive attitude is not considered cool or desirable by me
