Hate Boys (song)

Additional Information
Song meaning as told by Jon: "That's my favourite song lyrically by far. You really notice the beer and rugby culture of New Zealand when you get back from being away. It really frustrates me having to keep your head down and not say anything back to people, when you walk into a group of rugby players who you know are going to hassle you, and they do. This song is my song to say what I'd really like to say when I'm outnumbered by 10 rednecks to one". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics
"What have we here then? That girl's got shorter hair than her boyfriend What is it with the kids these days?" And the way his head goes straight to his back It almost gave me a heart attack I could tell he was an animal

So let's hear it for the salt of the earth I guess your narrow sight Has seen you right since birth C'mon, raise your glass, let's have some noise Release your hate boys

Oh, work is over, it's time to cut loose The night's alive, the night's alive Time to pay your dues to your misplaced frustrations Got a rant from a prat Sitting there chewing his fat He made it clear I wasn't his mate Didn't concern me at all

The night's alive, the night's alive The night's alive, yeah right I can't believe the bother you're giving me

What have we here then Some red-neck pissing his hard earned money Down his throat Just to let off some steam built from a hard week's work Like the weekend and the weekend before With an excuse to shout out to the world Just what a bigot he is

Tuning:Standard EADGBe (Yes, I realise that it's probably really played with everything down a step, I can just never be bothered. This is a tab for lazy people like me who hate having to constantly retune their

No claims to being exact or complete, but it does the job. Play around with it a bit.
