I Hate Everything

He was sittin' there beside me throwin' doubles down
When he ordered up his third one, he looked around
Then he looked at me, and 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 billfold and threw a twenty down
And a 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 ought to throw this one away
'Cause she's the reason I feel this way
Why I hate everything

CHORUS
Why 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 leaving me for him
Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring
And said: I have everything

He said: That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail
Is really not a home, it's more like a jail
With a swimming 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

So I pulled out my phone, and I called my house
I said: Babe, I'm coming home, we're gonna
Work this out
I paid for his drinks, and I told him: Thanks
Thanks for everything
