Hate

His fire picks are raining down

Haven't been caught in the night

But when we catch them, we bring them down

Oh, yeah, you're ready now

It's gonna rot in the cells

It's gonna rot in your mind now

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

I saw them talking about it

It's gonna shake and then rain down

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

Who wants? Na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

The world pulls you down

...

Hate

I've drawn him about a thousand times

Let me call them 'mana'

I'm broken, and they don't fall down

Oh, you'll tell me inside

You got it spinning around

It's gonna rot in your mind now

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

I saw them walking around

It's gonna shake and then rain down

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

Who wants? Na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

The world pulls you down

Oh, baby

There are so many around

So it's been exhausting

Loving something new

Hold me tight, let's be friends

You want me? Hey, dance with me

You, give me na, na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

Who wants? Na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

The world – na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

Who wants? Na-na-na

Hey, now

Reach out your hand, wanna dance now?

The world pulls you down

...
