hatred (a duet)
Singer:kinks, the
of making your life misery
but if that's not abusing me
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
is the only thing that keeps us together
is the only thing that lasts forever
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
is the only thing that lasts forever
is the only thing that keeps us together
while races try to integrate
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
my hostility for you defies description
is the only thing that keeps us together
is the only thing that lasts forever
hate's the only thing we have in common
so we might as well just learn to live together
'cos we're gonna be this way till our dying day
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
you'll see i've got a mouth
your attitude is downright rude
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 is the only thing that lasts
is the only thing that lasts forever
is the only thing that lasts forever
