[Verse 1]

2020 vision, lost in frustration

What a place to be

Got promised oblivion, all we got was stagnation

But the rich made it out okay


[Chorus: Josh Nickel and Joel Butler]

Snap back at the bastards

Don’t hide your head

You feel the rubber band reaction

I can feel the tension

Ridin’ on the hate wave

(Living in the hate wave now)

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now


[Verse 2]

Drink til you jerk

Piss off your friends and lose work

Now you’re bored with an urge to kill

Reality’s setting sun has left a burn on your bum

And you mutter ‘bout colored pills


[Chorus: Josh Nickel and Joel Butler]

Snap back at the bastards

Don’t hide your head

You feel the rubber band reaction

I can feel the tension

Ridin’ on the hate wave

(Living in the hate wave now)

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now


[Outro: Josh Nickel and Joel Butler]

You gotta snap back at the bastards

Don’t hide your hate

Rubber band reaction

I can feel the tension

Ridin’ on the hate wave

(Dying in the hate wave)

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now

Living in the hate wave now
