hatred (a duet)

Singer:kinks, the

you keep on accusing me

of making your life misery

but if that's not abusing me

what isn't

you wanna be my friend

well it's too late

my love for you has turned to hate

and i think that it's a permanent condition

you say you wanna make the peace

smile and turn the other cheek

i can't put myself in such a weak position

now i'm willing to accept this fate

you and me just can't cohabitate

we agree to hate and that's our fast decision

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that keeps us together

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that lasts forever

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

on the surface i'm a mild-mannered person

that's until you scratch the animal inside

then you bring out all my animal aggression

i gotta hatred for you that is never gonna die

driven to hate

driven to hate

driven to hate

driven to hate

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that lasts forever

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that keeps us together

while races try to integrate

nations try to gravitate

towards equal rights

regardless of religion

politicians might decree

for the sake of humanity

love and peace instead of a collision

you and me accept reality

there's no way that we can agree

the world can't make us alter this position

at least you and i know where we stand

we can't be friends

walk hand in hand

my hostility for you defies description

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that keeps us together

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that lasts forever

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

hate's the only thing we have in common

there's no escape

we'll always be this way

so we might as well just learn to live together

'cos we're gonna be this way till our dying day

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

driven by hate

if you keep on putting me down

rub my name into the ground

i'll drag the dirt all over town about you

and if you spread the filth on me

i'll only have one remedy

i'll spill the beans

you'll see i've got a mouth

too

yeah

hatred

your attitude is downright rude

your jokes appall me

they're so crude

why don't you just drop dead and don't recover

i'm the mirror to your mood

you hate me and i hate you

so at least we understand each other

hatred

hatred is the only thing that lasts

what is it?

hatred

hatred

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that lasts forever

hatred

hatred

is the only thing that lasts forever
