Lyrics for The Lover

There's a feeling washing over me It was built by you and me Our unity makes me feel so free to say... "Fuck you, I'm a lover" I feel the feeling and the feeling's pure I gotta feeling I ain't scared no more Because my people love me and make me feel sure to say... "Fuck you, I'm a lover" Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da don't it feel good? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da don't it feel good? Look Ma, I'm a soul singer Singing in the faces of the middle finger So, I bite my thumb and let it linger To say, "fuck you, I'm a lover" If I don't like the music you fake I just won't listen to the piss you take, 'cause Sycophants does not a good band make and... "Fuck you, I'm a lover" You say you don't like my clich茅s Our sloganeering and our catchphrase I say, "love is like a freeway" and... "Fuck you, I'm a lover" Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da don't it feel good? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da don't it feel good? I want to cater for the haters Eat shit I want to cater for the haters Eat shit I want to cater for the haters Eat shit I want to cater for the haters Eat shit Eat shit! Eat shit! Eat shit! Eat shit! Eat shit! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da don't it taste good?
