Cool to Hate is the fifth track on Ixnay on the Hombre. It is one of the few satirical songs on the album.
The Offspring’s guitarist Noodles has said that this was his favorite poem.
[Verse 1]
I hate a lotta things, I hate a lotta people that are lame
I like to hate stuff, 'cause then I don't have to try to make a change
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate teachers, I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone who's cool, yeah
I hate the office, I hate the Quad
Don't wanna learn nothing, I want to be a slob
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
[Verse 2]
I'm always thinking that I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down than build them up, it's easier that way
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate Dr. Martens and Muscle T's
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Likin' something's just a waste of time
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Likin' something's just a waste of time
Likin' something's just a waste of time
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate me too, so fuck you
[Interlude]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Bridge]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
[Breakdown]
Cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
Cut you down, 'cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
[Pre-Chorus]
So, I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate your band and I hate TV
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothin', and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothin', and I like that fine
Don't like nothin' and I like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
