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
