I hate the pigs, but they hate me too.
(So) when I screamed it loud, it was nothing new.
(But) when I’m sitting at home, doing nothing.
They’d rather see me out burning something.
Pour all the guilt on the innocent.
While drowning their sorrows in their medicines.
Hypocrites, they’re piss-poor liars.
I just found the fuel for my unlit fires.
Terrible, terrible people.
Trying to convince ourselves
that we’re not just terrible, terrible people.
Burning in this boring hell.
Racism and homophobia,
when they taught it in school, it was never enough.
‘Cause the ignorant fucks rewrite history
to neglect their wrongs and their hypocrisies.
Your pride is fueling your hate.
So drop dead and suffocate.
Take a fist straight to the face
‘cause society is still gonna change.
We're all
Terrible, terrible people.
Trying to convince ourselves
that we’re not just terrible, terrible people.
Burning in this boring hell.
I met a girl with a pretty face,
but it was all she had. Oh, what a waste.
Childish and selfish, she felt entitled.
Here words were worth less than a dime and nickel.
Don’t preach, and take for granted,
your parents gifts that bore your madness.
You’re not your mom and you’re not your dad.
So think for yourself and not like a kid.
We're all
Terrible, terrible people.
Trying to convince ourselves
that we’re not just terrible, terrible people.
Burning in this boring hell.
And when you dream at night do
you forgive yourself?
From the back of your darkest secrets
you’ll never tell.
Do you think that you’ll be happy
in the end?
Or are you still just a hypocrite, a piece of shit, without any real friends?
Terrible, terrible people.
Trying to convince ourselves
that we’re not just terrible, terrible people.
Burning in this boring hell.
Terrible, terrible, simply unbearable
I hate the smell of you terrible fucks.
Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible people
that’s all we are.
