All You Ever Do

Why you gotta hate your hometown? Everybody loves a small town Why you gotta hate your hometown? Them folks brought you up But all you ever do is put them down Everybody knows the city's no good for you Look at your face Look at what it's done to you How long do you think a pretty thing like you can last Sleeping in a sewer Beneath a skyscraper casket? I want to walk down Vandalia Avenue Holding hands Just like we used to do You say you hate the weak women and the ignorant men But what's a little nigger joke between friends? Do you hate their aching backs Or the blisters on their hands? Do you hate the way they beat you when you didn't fit in? Do you hate their empty faces Or do you hate the weather? They probably wouldn't stare if you just dressed a little better
