I'll Hate You Better

It's a song about how hate is the antithesis to peace. However, the only way world peace would theoretically work is if everyone collectively decided it was in all of our best interests to be peaceful and cooperate with each other. Unfortunately, this has never happened in society EVER in the entire history of the human race. As a result, we have to be prepared to defend ourselves from the "haters" but the thing about that is, one can become cynical and jaded about the so-called "haters" and become a hater as a result perpetuating the vicious cycle for generations to come as has been done historically.

This song seems to express the frustration of this paradox.

ok you losers need help, all you guys only care about INSTITUTIONALIZED and you dont even get to knwo the other, and sometimes better songs that ST has made, ill agree though that institutionalized is way awesome, and is a great story/poem song, but come on and get a life, stop going with the crowd and what the musical circuit wants you to listen to its useless, ok? get a life and listen to what your heart desires, if you actually like the poppy popular songs, all the best to you, who am i to say, that those songs aren't what you like, im not, im just saying if given the chance , would you even listen to those bands, if they tryied not to go as mainstream, but more artsy, or more independent? i doubt it...i love green day, just as much as the next person, but all these wannabes only know of their american idiot album, get with it, and listen to songs like sassa fras roots, and i wont call you a wussy anymore...

And what does that have to do with this song? =/

This song is amazing. Love the arpeggios and how the music is all pretty but the lyrics aren't. Good shit. As for the meaning; it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

this is a really good song, anybody that doesn't think so dosen't really no music at all, for me i like all kinds of music, not just one type. and i can say this song hits, simple song, but it hits.

The song is probably about how peace is possible, but people act hateful, which is why everyone denounces peace as being possible. It's not the world, it's you yourself being hateful.
