[Verse] I must admit, I was a bit confused I saw my picture in the mornin' news You say my sister's dead; my mom is, too You said I k**ed 'em, but it's just not true Nothin's real; nothin's certain But when I read your words, it just starts hurtin' [Verse] Everybody's tryin' to convict me For taking Benzedrine and LSD But that's all ancient history And it's just between God and me I hate rock 'n' roll, don't smoke pot Maybe a drunk, but a user I'm not! [Chorus] This is a warning from my own hands Never corner a frightened man! I might k** somebody tryin' to escape- You better listen to Mr. Hate! [Verse] I can't believe the things my school friends said Sometimes I think I wish that they were dead I get so mad that I just see red Then something blows apart inside my head It's all erroneous information- I've gotta make a little clarification [Chorus] This is a warning from my own hands Never corner a frightened man! I might k** somebody tryin' to escape- You better listen to Mr. Hate! [Musical Interlude] [Spoken] "I'm not gonna wash your dishes, anymore... I'm not gonna fry your burgers! I don't need it You never understood me, anyway You'll never catch me...I won't give up... YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" [Chorus] This is a warning from my own hands Never corner a frightened man! I might k** somebody tryin' to escape- You better listen to Mr. Hate! [Outro] You better listen to Mr. Hate! You better listen to Mr. Hate! You better listen to Mr. Hate! You better listen to Mr. Hate!
