We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful
Envying Triumphs: The Bittersweet Tale of Success in Universal Poplab's Melody
Lyrics
We hate it when our friends become successful
We dislike it when our friends achieve success.
We hate it when our friends become successful
Reiteration of the disapproval when friends become successful.
Oh, look at those clothes
Observation of the person's clothing.
Now look at that face, it's so old
Comment on the aged appearance of the person's face.
And such a video !
Reference to a video featuring the person.
Well, it's really laughable
Expressing that the situation is genuinely amusing.
Ha, ha, ha ...
Laughter.
We hate it when our friends become successful
Reiteration of disapproval when friends achieve success.
And if they're Northern, that makes it even worse
Highlighting a stronger aversion if the friends are from the Northern region.
And if we can destroy them
Expressing a desire to destroy successful friends.
You bet your life we will
A firm commitment to destroying successful friends.
Destroy them
Reiteration of the intent to destroy.
If we can hurt them
Expressing a willingness to hurt successful friends.
Well, we may as well ...
Suggesting that hurting them is inevitable.
It's really laughable
Reiteration that the situation is laughable.
Ha, ha, ha ...
Laughter.
You see, it should've been me
Expressing a sense of entitlement, believing success should have been their own.
It could've been me
Expressing a feeling that success could have belonged to them.
Everybody knows
