Hateful
The Clash
Well, I got a friend who's a man (who's a man?)
What man?
The man who keeps me from the lovely, the only
He gives me what I need
(What you need?) What you got?
I need it all so badly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
This year I've lost some friends
(Some friends?) What friends?
I dunno, I ain't even noticed
You see, I gotta go out again
(Again?) My friend
I gotta see that mainman
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
I killed all my nerves
(My nerves?) What swerves?
And I can't drive so steady
And already
I've lost my memory
(My mind?) Behind!
I can't see so clearly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
