[Verse 1]
Don't want to holiday, I want to educate myself
Not going out tonight, I need to educate myself
And though we find ourselves in this era's darkest heart
Forces of wickedness will not tear us apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be negative"
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be cruel," oh
Hush, hush, I don't think that I can do it for myself
But I can do it for us

[Chorus]
The cops were barking up against the wall
But our hearts were singing, peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us 'round your hate roulette (Your hate roulette)
We know the universe must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

[Verse 2]
His folks are very stupid, I won't do you like that
Her folks are very racist, I won't do you like that
Somebody must have told them during some crucial stage
That if you're dead inside, you don't really age, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be cynical"
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be bitter"
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it for yourself
Then do it for us
[Chorus]
The cops were barking up against the wall
While our hearts were singing, peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us 'round your hate roulette
We know the universe must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

[Outro]
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be cynical"
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be bitter"
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be cynical"
Hush, hush, don't, "Let's be bitter"
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it for yourself
Then do it for us
