(alexander/welsh/badlees)

we used to drink our bacardi
behind the old school
and bitch about dreams
that would never come true
then you heard a callin´
that i hadn´t felt
i liked you better
when you hated yourself

now you spend lots of time
at that natural food place
buyin´ fresh blocks of tofu
just like mom used to make
you kicked your bad habits
you´re in perfect health
but i liked you better
when you hated yourself

change, it came a blowin´
like we never met
your inner child and you play games
that i just don´t get
somewhere it´s written
that this too shall pass
but lately you´ve just been
a pain in the ass....

ask me if i care
well, i guess i still do
friends don´t come easy
even assholes like you
and that shrink of yours
she can go straight to hell
i liked you better
when you hated yourself

last time i saw you
you were on donahue
discussing your book
and everything you´ve been through
now you´ve got your glamour
your fame and your wealth
but i still liked you better
when you hated yourself
