I will shamelessly admit that I know the lyrics to every song by Everclear from 1995's "Sparkle and Fade" to late 2003's "Slow Motion Daydream" and that I even own "Ten Years Gone" (2004 Best of release - it's got "Local God" on it!). Can't say that I own or even have heard stuff from "World of Noise," as it was released when I was 6, but I do own their newest original disc "Welcome to the Drama Club." I can't say I'm a huge fan though - though "The Drama King" is a huge throwback to "Father of Mine" and "Hater" is a pretty catchy song that reminds me of my relationship with Matt, the band just isn't the same without Craig and Greg. But Art's voice is still the same and he essentially IS the band and I've learned to love the songs even though they're not the best.

But I will not, under any circumstances, buy their newest release "The Vegas Years." I can't imagine why anyone would buy it, and furthermore, I can't understand why the band would even write it. It's like an even worse version of New Found Glory's "From the Screen to Your Stereo" and it seriously infuriates me. I understand why Art would want to pay homage to people that have influenced, but there are much better ways to do it.

I hope they don't play the covers at their show. ESPECIALLY "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" BECAUSE I'LL CHOKE SOMEONE. I love Art, I love Everclear, but I do not love Woody Guthrie covers. I had a dream last night that they were the openers, played three covers and then left the stage. I then went outside to try and meet them, waited around and finally talked to Art and he was an asshole. I really hope that's not the way the concert goes!

Anyway, I touched upon the fact that "Hater" reminds me of Matt. Like, so much. It's pretty much completely redonkulous and I like to dance around to it in my car and remember how happy I am to have a great boyfriend now that understands me and likes me for who I am and shares the same ideas that I do, not someone who ridicules me for my "morals" and brings me down.


I don't like the way that you talk to me
when you tell me how it's gonna be.
And I don't like the way that you smile at me
when you tell me what is wrong with me.
Sometimes I wish you would go away...
Go away and never ever come back.
I don't like the mean and vindictive things you do;
It makes me want to hate on you.

Yeah, it's got me sad;
I'm kind of stressed.
You got me feeling anxious;
I'm always depressed.
I don't want to play this game of tug of war -
I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore.

I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore;
No, I don't want to be with a hater.
You are such a hater!

I don't like the way that you never took the blame
for absolutely anything.
And I don't like the way that you put me through hell
for all those things you do yourself.
Sometimes I wish I could disappear
all the way into a happy new life.
I don't like the way that you're always telling lies;
You talk about me all the time.

I hear you talk;
you a such a bore.
I see the way you look -
I think you look like a whore!
I know you know I know the way you're working for...
I don't won't to be with hater like you anymore.

I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore,
I don't want to be with a hater like you.
Hater... Hater!
I don't want to be with a hater like you.
Hater... Hater!
I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore,
Anymore...

I don't want to play this game;
No, I don't want to play these games.

You're a hypocrite;
Yeah, you lie to me.
You use words you don't understand;
You embarrass me.
Yeah, you're beautiful in a ugly way...
Hey, the sex was never that good anyway!

It's got me down;
I am super stressed.
I'm taking medication;
I'm always depressed.
I don't want to fight you in this tug of war;
I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore!

I don't want to be with a hater like you anymore.
I don't want to be with a hater like you.
I don't want to be with a hater like you.
I don't want to be with a hater like you.
Hater!
