he's so afraid when they scream, when they're mean
she was the star of a life that ceased to be
i die in my dreams, it eats me whole, it eats me whole
all this sorrow disappears when i learn to shake this fear and let it go
sue hates irene and irene, she hates sue
i know you hate me, it's okay, i hate you too
hate is a beast, it eats me whole, it eats me whole
'til i take him by the ears, turn him 'round, paddle his rear and let him go
let it go, let it go, let it go
all this anger dissipates when i come to shake this hate and let it go
i've been up high and i've been down low
but mostly i've been tired
i'll tell you, the best thing i ever did was let it go
let it go, let it go, let it go
all this anger dissipates when i finally shake this hate and let it go
let it go, let it go, let it go
all this sorrow disappears when i come to shake this fear and let it go
she was the star of a life that ceased to be
i die in my dreams, it eats me whole, it eats me whole
all this sorrow disappears when i learn to shake this fear and let it go
i know you hate me, it's okay, i hate you too
hate is a beast, it eats me whole, it eats me whole
'til i take him by the ears, turn him 'round, paddle his rear and let him go
all this anger dissipates when i come to shake this hate and let it go
but mostly i've been tired
i'll tell you, the best thing i ever did was let it go
all this anger dissipates when i finally shake this hate and let it go
let it go, let it go, let it go
all this sorrow disappears when i come to shake this fear and let it go
Oh wow very surprised no one commented on this song. One of the best Voltaire songs, and it makes a great deal of sense as well. People tend to focus on one tedious thing when it can so easily be forgotten and the mood changes. I think in the end of this song you get the message of common sense.
