Hate Lyrics
We’re cool we’re different
And we hate things
Yeah we hate things
We hate people
Take a stand and we will cut you down
Be yourself and we’ll call you a liar
Be somebody else and we’ll set you on fire
Keep yourself to yourself and we don’t care if you die yeah
Don’t tell me to look at myself
I know that I don’t exist
I am perfect I don’t exist
In your stupid human world
Before you tell me what you think’s in my mind
There’s something there that I’ve been trying to find
About the day that I woke up to decide
The world is ugly and I want to be blind
Take a minute to think what’s right
You’ll be up until the end of the night
Best forget that peoples’ problems are there
Turn on the tv, sit there and stare
Just what’s wrong with us is hard to explain
You know it’s easier to kill than create
Building happiness it seems there’s no time
We spend our days here thinking love is a crime
And we hate things
Yeah we hate things
We hate people
Be yourself and we’ll call you a liar
Be somebody else and we’ll set you on fire
Keep yourself to yourself and we don’t care if you die yeah
I know that I don’t exist
I am perfect I don’t exist
In your stupid human world
There’s something there that I’ve been trying to find
About the day that I woke up to decide
The world is ugly and I want to be blind
You’ll be up until the end of the night
Best forget that peoples’ problems are there
Turn on the tv, sit there and stare
You know it’s easier to kill than create
Building happiness it seems there’s no time
We spend our days here thinking love is a crime

I don't think this song is quite straight forward. I mean, Joe (the lead and song writer) doesn't say that he or the band or etc "hate". It's probable a sarcastic song about racism and such. You know, war terorism; just plain hate.
Ah, a song for the misanthrope in all of us.
I think the overall message here is that the world can be a miserable place, with close-minded people ... and the song just expresses the frustration of seeing that.
But I've always been confused by the chorus.
