Petty Hate Song

from Toluca Lake by Toluca Lake

/

lyrics

I hate the way you play for days to delay the important things you want to say.
If we unify we can defy the hate and lies and bring these fucking walls down.

Petty
Petty hate

I know your not scared yet, but let me tell you
If I could kill you I wouldn't do it.

I understand that you want them dead.
Screaming a death wish makes you feel empowered
Building up your hatreds over the years.
Think of all the time you've

devoted to all of that hate.
Destruction always has a place
But think of the message you could send
Think of all the people who would listen

You know it makes me sick
to think that I'm being such a hypocrite
The biggest stag
but anyone can buy a bag
of wannabe nominees
holding a dollar sign flag
Oh, fuck you.
Afraid of failure. That's why you always decline.
That's why you never left this cozy state of mind.
Pseudo-intellectual, only the blind think you see

I don't want to fight
because I don't want to die.
I just want to tell you that you're better than the songs you write.
They're so trite.
You could fill us all with hope.
We can start a violent revolution.
Bring the status quo
to the ground and sew
a brand new day for everyone. The things we'd do.
Break taboos.
You could fill us all with hope.
We can start a violent revolution.

The hate is blocking my view
I can't see the lyrics

Well I bought a dozen roses so they'd die at your front door
but there's only one plant you love and you need it more and more.
I could say just what you are, but I'll list the things you ain't
You're no mystery to me. You're not a rebel or a saint.
You see, a rebel's got a reason and the saints get hung for treason
That noose around your neck, you tied it loose, I do suspect
But unless my eyes deceive me, it looks stylish with cocaine
Your purpose in the rain, but your actions still remain
so when you get around to being rich, you will have lived like you were...
