Hellhole Lyrics
The windows dirty the mattress stinks
This ain't no place to be a man
Ain't got no future, ain't got no past
And I don't think I ever can
The floor is filthy the walls are thin
The wind is howling in my face
The rats are peeling, I'm losing ground
Can't seem to join the human race.
Chorus:
I'm living in a hell hole
Don't want to stay in this hell hole
Don't want to die in this hell hole
Girl, get me out of this hell hole.
I rode the jetstream, I hit the top
I'm eating steak and lobster tails
The sauna's drafty, the pools too hot
The kitchen stinks of boiling snails.
The taxman's coming, the butler quit
This ain't no place to be a man
I'm going back to where I started
I'm flashing back into my pan.
Chorus:
It's better in a hell hole
You know where you stand in a hell hole
Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
Girl get me back to my hell hole.
This ain't no place to be a man
Ain't got no future, ain't got no past
And I don't think I ever can
The wind is howling in my face
The rats are peeling, I'm losing ground
Can't seem to join the human race.
I'm living in a hell hole
Don't want to stay in this hell hole
Don't want to die in this hell hole
Girl, get me out of this hell hole.
I'm eating steak and lobster tails
The sauna's drafty, the pools too hot
The kitchen stinks of boiling snails.
This ain't no place to be a man
I'm going back to where I started
I'm flashing back into my pan.
It's better in a hell hole
You know where you stand in a hell hole
Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
Girl get me back to my hell hole.

Just making fun of those rich snobby rock stars who seem to have a lot but still complain.
This song is genius! I know it's meant to be a spoof of 70s and 80s rock, but it tells a compelling narrative about how we're never happy with what we have. (Plus, it rocks.) I love when the speaker decides he needs to get BACK to his Hell Hole, where "folks lend a hand" and where you "know where you stand." Isn't that the truth!
