lyrics

Verse 1: (World of hate) Keeps bringin' me down
(World of hate) Screwin' me in the ground
(World of hate) Can't last much longer
(World of hate) We're all goners
(World of hate) Every day in the car
(World of hate) At the corner bar
(World of hate) Cruisin' down the road
(World of hate) It's all gonna explode

Chorus: Feels like we're caught in a trap
Can't do what pleases us
Hatin' for the sake of stability
Hatin' in the name of Jesus
Marchin' off to do some killin'
in the name of state
Think I'm gonna do myself in
Wanna leave this world of hate

Verse 2: (World of hate) At work and play
(World of hate) We're all gonna pay
(World of hate) It's gettin' too complex
(World of hate) When we're having sex
(World of hate) Every day at school
(World of hate) Yeah, it's all so cruel
(World of hate) In a jail cell
(World of hate) Turnin' life into hell

Chorus

(World of hate) People ain't gettin' fed
(World of hate) They're gonna be dead
(World of hate) Endangerin' species
(World of hate) Suffocatin' in feces
(World of hate) At the grocery store
(World of hate) Startin' nuclear war
(World of hate) Shootin' off into space
(World of hate) No more human race

Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
