Hate It Here

  • I try to stay busy
    I do the dishes, I mow the lawn
    I try to keep myself occupied
    Even though I know you're not coming home

    I try to keep the house nice and neat
    I make my bed, I change the sheets
    I even learned how to use a washing machine
    Keeping things clean doesn't change anything

    What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold?
    What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow?
    What am I gonna do if you never come home?
    Tell me, oh, what am I gonna do?

    Oh, I hate it
    I hate it here
    When you're gone

    I caught myself thinking
    I caught myself thinking once again
    I have to try to keep my mind out of this
    Try not to pretend

    I'll check the phone
    I'll check the mail
    I'll check the phone again
    I call you're mom
    She says you're not there
    And I should take care

    Oh, I hate it here
    When you're gone
    I hate it
    I hate it here
    When you're gone

    I try to stay busy
    I take out the trash, I sweep the floor
    Try to keep myself occupied
    'Cause I know you don't live here anymore Writer/s: GLENN KOTCHE, JEFF TWEEDY, JOHN STIRRATT, MIKAEL JORGENSEN, NELS CLINE, PAT SANSONE
