I Hate Everything (50 Number Ones Version)

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 oughta 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 ya 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"

"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 leavin' me for him"

Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring

And said, "I hate 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 swimmin' pool, and a parkin' 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

And said, "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"
