Red Souls and Hate

I do do not like this world at all

I do not like it as I fall

I do not like the way I feel 

I do not like the crusty wheel

I do not like that time repeats 

I do not like the taste of sweets 

I do not like it just one bit

I do not like that this won't quit

I do not like red souls and hate

I do not like them on my plate 

Would you, could you in a hole

Climb a tree as just a soul?

Would you, could you float through space

Just to flee the human race?

I would not, could not in a hole

Climb a tree as just a soul 

I would not, could not float through space 

Just to flee the human race 

I do not like eternal life

I do not like blood on a knife

I do not like the sound of hope

I do not like a hanging rope 

I do not like the baby's cry

I do not like to question why

I do not like it just one bit

I do not like that this won't quit

I do not like red souls and hate 

I do not like them on my plate 

Would you, could you go to Hell-

Stay and play and dance and dwell?

Would you, could you stoke the flame-

Call the devil by his name?

Say, I think that I could dwell

With those hapless fools in Hell

Call the devil by his name

Raptured in his fiery flame!

I like my life and where it's at

I like it now, and that is that

I love them now upon my plate 

I love to eat red souls and hate
