I hate it here I hate it here But some sick part of me kinda believes I miss it here I miss it here I don't know I don't wanna sound dumb or naive But there's something 'bout New Year's Eve In a small town next to the city I'll never care enough to grieve The cotton candy skies sure are pretty When they're slightly covered up by trees Yeah the colors just stand out more Oh the landscapes are such a tease 'Cause the real thing is such a fucking bore It's such a fucking bore Modern day suburbia's a wasteland I've been working on an escape plan And if you make it out you're a brave man 'Cause half of these fuckers try but they can't ♪ I hate it here I hate it here But the worst part of me just kinda knows I'll miss it here I'll miss it here But, hey, isn't that the way life goes Like when you get rid of all your old clothes And you put a bunch of new ones on the rack Yeah even though it's what you chose You still want your dirty t-shirt back But it's gone and it's a good thing too Carry on and find a different you 'Cause she's not here and you know that And all of your old shit You've outgrown that ♪ Modern day suburbia's a wasteland I've been working on an escape plan And if you make it out you're a brave man 'Cause half of these fuckers try but they can't ♪ Have you ever been Stuck in the future for a lifetime? Hope is my medicine Lately it's even been a lifeline But are you clinging to the past too? Answering questions nobody asked you
