What It's Like To Be Hated Lyrics - Mansun

I had to sing this for me 

Watch myself pilloried 

Ugly, scruffy, no one 

But then I guess that you knew 

Nasty, bitter, enraged 

A nice polite english way 

Full circle, desensitised 

I'm right back where I began 

Hated, broken 

The dead flowers reject 

Sad glucoma in mist 

Injustice wells up in me 

We are shit and refuse 

Hated, broken 

It's what it's like to be hated 

I am afflicted and ill 

It's what it's like to be hated 

I wrote this song for myself 

We are shit and refuse to wallow in rejection 

My will is shattered again 

My leeches, parasite friends 

No man's an island they said 

I breathe my solitary air 

Explain myself to noone 

Beautiful sad solitude 

Hated, broken 

Learn to ignore all the slurs 

You can get used to all things 

Hated, broken 

Piss in the face of the sick 

Unjust vendetta's uncool 

Unjust, unwanted, reject 

Uninformed, understood 

A silence, broken my will 

Afflicted, shattered and sick 

Popularity stakes 

Overrated you said 

Isolation can feel like a utopian state 

To be this liked is to be suffocated you said 

Beauty, sadness, enraged of solitude can be bare 

Disturbed, unwanted at birth 

The fucking joke that we are 

I've never had any friends 

Could be a sweet suicide 

A fucking homo in flesh 

To weak to protest
