  • I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    For being jealous
    I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    For thing that you can't see

    I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    For using other fellows
    To blindside you to get inside of me

    Believe me I'm not saying that I'm proud
    To undermine and sabotage your scene
    I wouldn't want to say some things out loud
    But everybody does it and you know what I mean

    I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    For backing the wrong horse
    I hate myself, I hate myself
    I hate my masquerade of black and blue

    I hate myself, I hate my reckless
    And self-destruction course
    And coming last conceding second best to you

    And if on judgement day I'm told to make my way
    To take a blasting residence downstairs
    I look to see your fathers, who back stab their own brothers
    Got a lighter sentence showing mercy and repentance

    I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    I guess I'm just too smart
    I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
    In body and in mind

    I hate myself, I hate myself
    I hate these perversions of the heart
    I hate myself up front
    I hate myself from behind

    So take my hand
    To the witness stand
    I deserve the worst
    My heart is gonna burst
    So validate me hate me where it hurts

    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself

    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hope that you do too

    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    I hate myself
    But most of all I hate myself

  • Tim from Michigan CityChrissie, I get your point totally. But, I thought I'd mention the irony in the fact that your ex, Ray Davies, wrote JUST SUCH a song - or, sort of. He called it, "Sitting on My Sofa" - but, maybe you already knew this. Here are a few of the lyrics:

    All alone, sitting on my sofa,
    Oh, oh, oh, sitting on my sofa,
    Sipping at my soda,
    Sitting on my sofa.

    You got all your friends,
    I got a TV set.
    You got your cars,
    And this boy's never had anything.

    Needless to say, it isn't a "happy family" song, but he is very alone. Just thought your comment was very interesting!
