Starts so slowly, just a place to stay
Somewhere warm where they can spend their days
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean
Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene
Somethings happened and its not so good
Broken bottles in the face of love
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light
Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night
Once its started it can never stop
Fills his head with a dark damp fog
In the distance is a constant cry growing louder as the years go by
Days get longer and he starts to drink
Spews his stomach in the kitchen sink
Tells his children they should have respect
Tells his wife that shes a nervous wreck
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Cant be bothered when its all the same leave it long enough, it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
She tries to tell him but he cant have that
Shes only "jealous" and shes "telling lies"
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
It took him months to get her into bed, now hes got her he just wants her dead
She wants excitement and she needs romance,
all she gets are dirty underpants
Stupid animal that cant know why somethings wrong so someone has to die
The wind is blowing and the rain falls down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows hes finished but he cant stop now
And he wants to end it but he cant see how
And its all in pieces, thrown it all away
Oh, but hes not ugly, he just looks that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs it now
But the scream hes starteds getting far too loud
And he still pretends he does it just for now
His day will come hell lose it all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
Been dead ten years but hes still alive and the time is wasted
and the ship has sunk
But he hasnt noticed and he comes home drunk
And hes just dead weight, hell never leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps falling down
and its hard to know he doesnt count for much
Hes not a has-been, just a never-was
Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Hates his wife
Hates them all.
