Hateful Songtext
von The Clash

Well, I got a friend who′s the man
(Who's the man?) What man?
The man who keeps me from the lonely
The only
He gives me what I need
(What d′you need?) What you got?
I need it, oh so badly

(Oh) 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 painful
And I′m so grateful
To be nowhere


This year I′ve lost some friends
(Some friends?) What friends?
I don't know, I ain′t even noticed
You see, I gotta get out again
(Again?) My friend
I gotta see that main man
Yeah

Oh, anythin' I want
He gives it to me
Anythin′ I want
He gives it, but not for free
It's hateful

And it′s painful
And I'm so grateful
To be nowhere (nowhere)

Yeah, oh-ho

Yeah, oh-ho

(Oh) (oh) oh, anythin' I want
He gives it to me
Anythin′ I want
He gives it, but not for free
It′s hateful
Yeah

And it's painful
And I′m so grateful
To be nowhere


I killed all my nerves
(My nerves) for what it's worth
I can′t drive so steady
And, "Oh, really?"
I've lost my memory
(My mind) behind
I can′t see so clearly

Well (oh) anythin' I want
He gives it to me
Anythin' I want
He gives it, but not for free

(It′s hateful) anythin′ I want
He gives it to me
Anythin' I want (for free)
He gives it, but not for free
Anythin′ I want (to me)
Anythin' I want
