[Verse 1]
Someone states the obvious
Someone sneers at all you love
Someone preaches ugly manners
Excluding some, including me

[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
All feelings blunted, all passion spent
Everybody does what everybody does
All the broken promises
To recreate a status quo

[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
