TOTAL HATE 95
(J. Spence, C. Leal, G. Gonzalez)
from the album The Beacon Street Collection

Many (probably even the band) consider this song the centerpiece of The Beacon Street Collection. Written in 1987, it is the only song which has survived the No Doubt set up until this day. the song features a rap in the middle by Bradley Nowell from Sublime, and after his death the band started to tag Sublime's "Pawn Shop" to the end of this song as a tribute to him. Tom jokes that the best moment in a No Doubt song was "written by other people and performed by another man". The original trombone solo after Bradley's rap (which is played by Gabe) is a note-for-note rendition of Paul Casely's original solo from the 1987 version.

You're livin' your life without a care in the world
That's the way it should be
What's life like in a candy swirl
What's life like to me
Everyone is slowing down
Look once at life on the ground
You all are the people, they're runnin' around
Not making a sound

Total hate! Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!

Hey... Pick it up...

You're movin' along, just goin' your own way
Don't try to change
You're jumpin', you're runnin', you learn to play
Never try to rearrange
You're getting tired and starting to drag
Slowing down and that's sad
You're walkin' around, you're being a skag
Huh - well that's not my bag

Total hate! Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!

(BRADLEY:)
You don't even know me so don't hate me
Sublime rockin' No Doubt stylie
We do it Monday and on Friday
Get back to the show 'cause it's payday
11 o'clock, roll, roll it down
Rock the city with the number one sound
Long beat, Long Beach and it feels so fine
Rock this shit straight back to Anaheim
(GWEN:)
Total hate, total hate
You're so fake, you make me shake
Your faded face is so irate
You share with none, you have no one
You're living your life in total hate

Total hate! Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate! Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate! Total hate!

Bo bo bo bo bo quandbass!
