lyrics

Hello, hello, we will say hello
to you and your friends but we'll say no more
than what you already expected to hear--
isn't that what you came here for?
Okay, so there's some minor damage
to the kitchen floor--
here's my number, say no more,
I'll be over in a jiff to fix up the place--
but really I'll never answer your calls
or even speak to your face.
Until spring is how long your lease will last
I won't fix that broken window till winter's past.

It's so cold in my house, I can't even sleep,
I still feel the bite and I'm 20 blankets deep.
My food's gone bad, my whole house reeks,
my refrigerator hasn't worked in weeks.
--Well I'm sorry, kid, I can't come by today:
there's been an accident on the freeway.
Anyway, I'm sorry about your sorrows,
I'll be sure to come by tomorrow.
In truth, there's no traffic at all,
well, I'll be at home just jerking off
and working on my cars,
and laughing at you from afar.

We're bad landlords
we're not your friends
we don't like you
we just want your rent.
Everything will be just fine
as long as you pay us on time.
We don't like you
we're not your friends
we're bad landlords
we just want your rent.
Everything will be just fine.

My landlord rented my room out
to somebody else without telling me
he'd be overtaking this hell--
well, next month I'll have nowhere to live,
little does he know
I don't have next month's rent to give,
so I'm gonna punch some holes into these walls,
place posters over them, pretend I've never seen them before.
He'll have no clue it was me, because as you can see
he doesn't do a damn thing, doesn't fix or clean.
--Hello, how are you, I just came by to say
your lease is almost up when can I expect you to pay?
It doesn't have to be now, but it's gotta be soon.
It's been very nice doing business with you.

We're bad landlords
we're not your friends
we don't like you
we just want your rent.
Everything will be just fine
as long as you pay us on time.
We don't like you
we're not your friends
we're bad landlords
we just want your rent.
Everything will be just fine.
