You see that man standing out in his yard
You're driving by and he's looking hard
A different shade but that's OK
Just flash a smile and be on your way

Here's the thing you got to do
Cut the cable and turn off that news
You got to lose the hate, uh huh

When you get cut off on your drive home
They're busy looking at their telephone
You know it's wrong and you're about to salute
But you change your mind 'cause they just might shoot

Here's the thing you got to do
Cut the cable and turn off that news
You got to lose the hate
Yeah man, you got to lose the hate

When it's pouring rain and it's your day off
You might want to bitch some and say all is lost
Just put on some vinyl and maybe get a little high
And you won't give a damn 'bout that rainy sky

I got some priceless advice for you
Cut the cable, turn off that news
You got to lose the hate
Yeah dog, lose the hate
