We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful Lyrics

We hate it when our friends become successful
We hate it when our friends become successful
Oh, look at those clothes
Ah look at that face, its so cold
It's such a video, well
It's really laughable

Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Oh ho ho ho!
Wah ha ha ha!
Wah ha ha ha!

We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they're No Doubt, that makes it even worse and
We can destroy them
You bet your life we will
Destroy them
If we can hurt them
Well, we may as well ...
Its really laughable

Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Oh ho ho ho!
Wah ha ha ha!
Wah ha ha ha!

You see it should've been me
Ah, couldve been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so
They say :

"Ah, you have loads of songs
So many songs
More songs than they could stand
Verse
Chorus
Then they break away
Just listen ..."
La, lalala, la-la...
Just listen!

Its really laughable!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Oh ho ho ho
Wah ha ha ha
Wah ha ha haaaaaa!
Wah ha ha!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yeah, it's a good song, and certainly pretty self-explanatory, at least I think it is. it's the same bitterness and resentment (especially towards No Doubt) that they showed in 'Everything Sucks'.

It's a cover of Morrissey; basically the one thing they changed here is "Northern" (meaning northern english) to "No Doubt" - that makes it even worse...
