[IDLES - The Lover lyrics]

There's a feeling washing over me
It was built by you and me
Our unity makes me feel so free to say
"Fuck you, I'm a lover"
I feel the feeling and the feeling's pure
I got a feeling I ain't scared no more
Because my people love me and make me
Feel sure to say "Fuck you, I'm a lover"

Da da da da da da da da don't it feel good?
Da da da da da da da da don't it feel good?

Look Ma, I'm a soul singer
Singing in the faces of the middle finger
So, I bite my thumb and let it linger
To say, "fuck you, I'm a lover"
If I don't like the music you fake
I just won't listen to the piss you take
'cause
Sycophants does not a good band make and
"Fuck you, I'm a lover"
You say you don't like my clichés
Our sloganeering and our catchphrase
I say, "love is like a freeway" and
"Fuck you, I'm a lover"

Da da da da da da da da don't it feel good?
Da da da da da da da da don't it feel good?

I want to cater for the haters eat shit
I want to cater for the haters eat shit
I want to cater for the haters eat shit
I want to cater for the haters eat shit
Eat shit! Eat shit!
Eat shit! Eat shit!
Eat shit!

Da da da da da da da da don't it taste good?
