Lyrics The Only One I Love Is My Hate - Matisse

I'm a nurse, I can't help the sick
I don't want to
I think HELP is a bad thing
But they tell me I have to!
They tell me
"Love the sick, help the sick
Love the dying, love them quick"

I'm a teacher, I can't help the kids
I don't want to
I think information is a bad thing
But they tell me I have to
And I tell them
"Love the sick, help the sick
Love the dying, love them quick"

I'm a poet, I can't help humanity
I don't want to
I feel hope is a bad thing
I hate poetry, I hate kids, I hate teachers

I hate the sick, I hate my guts
I hate war, I hate peace
I hate the good and I hate the bad

There are billions of things I hate
And only one I love
