The things that make a good clean hate Are not based in hatred at all The things that make a good clean hate Put self-hatred's face to the wall Like hating the moment that the web is woven The worst of the father shows up in the son Like hating the hour you surrendered power And opted for need instead of love The things that make a good clean hate Are not based in hatred at all The things that make a good clean hate Put self-hatred's face to the wall Like hating the second that cowardice beckoned For no good reason you just held your tongue Like hating the day that fear had it's way As silent you let the air leave your lungs All then, not now Hate Good clean hate Good clean hate Good clean hate We all fold, the story's told Of how we come to fail ourselves But real motherfuckers become useful to others Become treats, overcome themselves The things that make a good clean hate Are not based in hatred at all The things that make a good clean hate Put self-hatred's face to the wall You'd better watch yourself because you just can't tell When the thing that's stopping you might be yourself You'd better watch yourself because you just can't tell The only thing that's stopping you is you, you yourself
