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 gotta 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?
