He was sittin' there beside me throwin' doubles down

When he ordered up his third one he looked around

Then he looked at me

said I do believe

I'll have one more

He said I hate this bar, and I hate to drink

But on second thought, tonight I think I hate everything

Then he opened up his bill-fold and threw a 20 down

And the faded photograph fell out, and hit the ground

And I picked it up

he said thank you bud, I put it in his hand

He said I probably oughta throw this one away

'Cause she's the reason I feel this way

Why I hate everything

I hate my job

And I hate my life

and if it weren't for my two kids I'd hate my ex-wife

I know I should move on

and try to start again

But I just can't get over her, leavin' me for him

Then he shook his head, and looked down at his ring said I hate everything

He said one bedroom apartment

where I get my mail

Is really not a home

it's more like a jail

With a swimmin' pool

and a parking lot view

man it's just great

I hate summer, winter, fall and spring

Red and yellow, purple, blue and green

I hate everything

I hate my job

And I hate my life

and if it weren't for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife

I know I should move on

and try to start again

But I just can't get over her, leavin' me for him

Then he shook his head, and looked down at his ring said I hate everything

So I pulled out my phone

and I called my house

I said babe I'm comin' home

we're gonna work this out

I paid for his drinks

and I told him thanks

thanks for everything
