He was sitting there beside me throwing 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 a threw a twenty down
 And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground
 And I picked it up and 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
 I hate everything

 I hate my job and I hate my life
 And if it weren’t 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 hate everything

 Said that one bedroom apartment where I 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

 Well I hate my job and I hate my life
 And if it weren’t 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 hate everything

 So I pulled out my phone and I called my house
 I said babe [bad word] home we are going to work this out
 I paid for his drinks and I told him thanks
 Thanks for everything
