Of Montreal – Peace To All Freaks lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't want to holiday, I want to educate myself
Not going out tonight, I need to educate myself
And now we find ourselves in this era's darkest part
Forces of wickedness will not tear us apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush, hush, don't let's be negative
Hush, hush, don't let's be cruel
Hush, hush, I don't think that I can do it for myself, but I can do it for us

[Chorus]
The cops were fucking up against the wall
But our hearts were singing peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us 'round your hate will end
We know the universe must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

[Verse 2]
His folks are very stupid, I won't do you like that
Her folks are very racist, I won't do you like that
Somebody must have told them, during some crucial stage
That if you're dead inside, you don't really age

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush, hush, don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush, don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it for yourself, then do it for us

[Chorus]
The cops were fucking up against the wall
While our hearts were singing peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us 'round your hate will end
We know the universe must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

Hush, hush, don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush, don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it
Hush, hush, don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush, don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush, if you feel like you can't do it for yourself, then do it for us
