Version 0.25

Someone's Gonna Hate Me (Remastered)

Alternative version demonstrating development speed and quality upcurve. Buy me a coffee. 

I know that you hate me,
and I know, I'll never know why,
You see me trying but lately,
You keep trying to bait me,
it's not that I'm ignorant,
it's that I don't give a shit,
I ain't got no regrets, and
I'm not built to forget,
But I can't be gas lit!

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You

You never planned it this way,
You can't take what I got,
If I'm supposed to be sorry, 
Then I'm sorry but I'm not.
Then I'm sorry but I'm not.
You stand for nothing,
I hope it works out for you,
But I'm not a fucking moron 
Check the records for the proof!
I know you ain't looking for the truth!

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You!

Did I cross a line, or not make amends,
Was something I said, did you hear it from a friend?
What was it that made you snap?
Just kidding, I don't care,
Because I'll never take it back!
I'm not trying to the hated,
I'm not trying to be cruel,
But don't think you'll get away with acting like a tool,
it sounds like a "you problem"
maybe you should work on that!

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You!

If you're out of my sight,
then you're out of your mind,
if you think that I care,
then maybe you should rewind,
you're missing the message,
it's not like I even care,
when I needed compassion,
you never had it to spare,

"I hate that man,
I should get to know him better."

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's you,

Someone's Gonna Hate Me (v2.0)


Flouro under the neon's yellow glare
Clock strikes three but nobody's there
The vending machine hums its sad little prayer

Feeding time for the vampires
The Procession of men that just don't care
They feed in silence in mela-mine booths
But the lady at the Wimpy's is always there

Steel-toed boots on a concrete floor
The coffee tastes like regret and war
Dust settles on the ghosts at the door

Feeding time for the vampires
The Procession of men checked out 
Like the procession that came before,
But the lady at the Wimpy's just stares,

Soothing hums of the machines
Drifting out of space and time as well,
Wake to the hiss of fire sprinklers, 
In the engine room in hell,

Casual slavery for their crimes,
Scrutinise every nickel, every dime,
They'll get to each one in it's time,

Feeding time for the vampires
The Procession of men in a carnal line,
The last cigarette's ashed out,
But the lady at the Wimpy's has a spare,

Feeding time for the vampires
The Procession of men locked inside a state of mind,
Subscribers to an old paradigm,
They feed in silence in melamine booths
But the lady at the Wimpy's isn't there

Feeding Time for the Vampires

What's Cookin'?

Don't Feed the Trolls (alt)

Don't Feed the Trolls

Facta Non Verba

I'm generating the soundtrack for my own life, Yes, I'm using AI to translate my lyrics into music but I see it as just an exciting and new instrument to add to the repertoire. Ultimately, I'd rather listen to something real annd personal than the artificial songs pushed by the 'real' mainstream media. At least these songs connect to me. I hope they connect to you, too, and if they do then it really doesn't matter how they get generated, does it?

While these are a personal passion project, I am trying to capture things that I believe resonate with other people's experiences. Music is communication, after all. 

Please enjoy picking up the fragments of my mind. 

If you see me passing through the algorithm please feel free to say g'day.

Reach out if you listen to the song and like it. If you like it then please repost and share it with other people who may also like it. If you want to create something with any track then let me know. I will happily share but don't try to sell me anything. If you're inspired then create something and pay it forward. 

I also like coffee, so... you know... Cheers.
