Wake Up Hate Lyrics

I am the burden of my everything
And of its scar
I'll be reborn in hatred
Feeling I can't love no more

I've had to suffer
I cannot wait for more
No loving and no praying
All my hate is for the taking

I am the falling of my happiness,
It is no more
Stop loving, I’m still hating
Till I cannot hate no more

I've had to suffer
I cannot wait for more
No loving and no praying
All my hate is for the taking

I'm, I am filthy
Wasted piece of shit
I am disgusting
Take me away

We got a fucked up reason to live
Who really gives a fuck?
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna fuck you up
I wanna break everything
I wanna make it sting
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna wake it up
You gotta get it straight
We're gonna give it up
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna fuck you up
I wanna break everything
I wanna make it sting
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna wake it up
We got a fucked up reason to live
Who really gives a fuck?
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna fuck you up
I wanna break everything
I wanna make it sting
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna wake it up
You gotta get it straight
We're gonna give it up
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna fuck you up
I wanna break everything
I wanna make it sting
We're gonna wake up hate
We're gonna wake it up

I am the burden of my everything 
And of its scar 
I'll be reborn in hatred 
Feeling I can't love no more

I've had to suffer 
I cannot wait for more 
No loving and no praying 
All my hate is for the taking

I am the falling of my happiness,
It is no more 
Stop loving, I’m still hating 
Till I cannot hate no more

I've had to suffer 
I cannot wait for more 
No loving and no praying 
All my hate is for the taking

I'm, I am filthy 
Wasted piece of shit 
I am disgusting 
Take me away

We got a fucked up reason to live 
Who really gives a fuck? 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna fuck you up 
I wanna break everything 
I wanna make it sting 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna wake it up 
You gotta get it straight 
We're gonna give it up 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna fuck you up 
I wanna break everything 
I wanna make it sting 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna wake it up
We got a fucked up reason to live 
Who really gives a fuck? 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna fuck you up 
I wanna break everything 
I wanna make it sting 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna wake it up 
You gotta get it straight 
We're gonna give it up 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna fuck you up 
I wanna break everything 
I wanna make it sting 
We're gonna wake up hate 
We're gonna wake it up

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.

I found what Jon was saying about this song: "The whole song is a f@%&-off. It's a song about feeling hopeless - how kids have no reason to live anymore. What do they have to f@%&ing live for? Back when I was growing up there were lots of opportunities for kids that seem to have fallen off. They skirt through school and get meaningless jobs or just go kill people and rob and s&!%. It's about starting a riot - really f@%&ing rebelling." Somehow this song and others like this make me want to break everything and wonder what I have to live for. This critical attitude made my life even worse than it already was, so now I listen to songs that are more optimistic and I don't feel anymore of this rage inside of me. I guess music really does influence me.

When I first heard this i was like "eh, they're trying to be slipknot." then i realized korn could never stoop to that level....and now i love this song.....obviously about being tired of love and deciding to live to hate...

This song is wicked. I would also have to say that Untouchables is a WAY better cd than Issues. But nothing will ever beat the hard rock sounds of their first album.

Good song, it has a driving, industrial sound to it. Intense.

@TwistedB definitely has an industrial sound to the song ... a little bit different to the usual Korn tunes

I like to listen to this song with headphones on... turning the sound up waaaaaay too high. Makes me want to go berserk. :)

Don't get me wrong, I love Korn. But for some reason this song just doesn't do it for me.

sure this song wasnt really knorns style but, it rocks and the point gets across, plus ive herd worse korn songs(about 40% of issues) and i am die hard korn. so this one song should get credit before that 40% of issues

This is an awesome song. I think its a lot harder than most of Korn's recent stuff. And i agree with Drumsic6sicks, Issues wasn't that good.
