Name: Do You Hate
Duration: P00H04M56S
Description: The television is always on in her apartment, softly babbling about the latest tragedy… a river of news from the external world. She likes to imagine that her own life is a news channel. She doesn’t go out much; she has a big decision to make. Planes are going down inside her.

lyrics

DO YOU HATE
copyright 2007 john common music

do you hate your name
do you hate your face
do you hide your hands
do they give you away
does it make you sick
do you want to die
when you hear that voice
do you go inside

do you see your dad
and the things he did
when you lie awake
in an empty bed
do you close the door
and then cry all night
do you get pissed off
when you hear the truth

what if we all died tonight
do you think that would be alright
what if all the lies we fight
just gave up and went home

have you had enough
are you checking out
is it time to burn
this old wooden house
is it easier
is it better for you
when you disappear
step out of view

what if we all died tonight
do you think that would be alright
what if all the lies you fight
just gave up and went home
