lyrics

CONGRATULATIONS, I HATE YOU
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

You're like a little brat
in your big boy suit
pretending to do the things
important people do

You're used to chocolate cake
and doing what you please
you just were not
built for days like these

I'm a bleeding heart
but I've been pushed too far
congratulations
I hate you
I'm a bleeding heart
and I try so hard
congratulations
I hate you

Don't pretend
you don't know who I'm talking about
you're discolored by a delusion
I can't wrap my brain around

You put on your "important" face
and you play to the mob
you're like a televangelist
without the God

(Chorus)

You've demonized
people I love
you wouldn't know love
if it spanked you

The funny thing
about the crowd you play to
they're gonna turn on you
they all ways do

Good luck

(Chorus)
