We Hate All The Same Things

She's no beauty queen
But she doesn't mind being seen with me
I may not be the best
But I'm the only guy that she can get

And with a love like that, you know it's gotta last
And we're gonna stay together as the years go rocketing past
We share everything his-and-hers
Like all the things that get on our nerves
So she's with me, and there's nobody waiting in the wings
'Cause we hate all the same things

Now I'm anticipating
We'll spend another lovely evening of complaining
About life, 'cause we've discovered
It's one damn thing after another

So don't try to call us, we won't answer the phone
We hate to go out in public even more than we hate staying at home
We'd just hate anything, anywhere
And anybody who may be there
So I'll be here, and she'll be near
There's nowhere else to be
'Cause we hate all the same things
Yeah, we hate all the same things

When the dog bites
When my bee stings
When you're feeling some of these things:
Ennui, misanthropy
(Weltschmerz)
Weltschmerz, anomie
Just think of all the things you hate
And things start looking pretty great
If there's someone who hates them, too
And she's with you the whole night through

[Guitar lead]

If you've had a few lucky breaks
And you've made all the right mistakes
You can be like she and me in a world that swings
If you hate all the same things
Like we hate all the same things
Yeah, we hate all the same things
We hate all the same things
