I Hate People 1970 'Scrooge'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Dec 2005

Scavengers and sycophants
and flatterers and fools!
Pharisees and parasites
and hypocrites and ghouls!
Calculating swindlers! Prevaricating frauds!
Perpetrating evil
as they roam the earth in hordes
Feeding on their fellow men
reaping rich rewards,
contaminating ev'rything they see
Corrupting honest men like me.

I hate people
I hate people,
People are despicable creatures
loathsome inexplicable creatures
goodfornothing kickable creatures
I hate people.
I abhor them.
When I see the indolent classes
sitting on their indolent arses
gulping ale from indolent glasses
I hate people.

I detest them
I deplore them
Fools who have no money spend it
Get in debt then try to end it.
Beg me on their knees befriend them
knowing I have cash to lend them.

Soft hearted me. Hardworking me.
Clean living, thrifty, and kind as can be.
Situations like this are of int'rest to me.

I hate people I loathe people
I despise and abominate people.
Life is full of cretinous wretches
earning what their sweatiness fetches
empty minds who pettiness stretches
further than I can see.

Little wonder
I hate people

and I don't care if they hate me!
