I hope that our few remaining friends/give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we've mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junk yard a few miles from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again

In my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can find one good thing to say
And I hope that if I had the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die
I hope we both die

--"No Children," by the Mountain Goats. It reads as very bitter, but it's a riot to listen to :)

If you haven't heard the Mountain Goats, you owe it to yourself to check them out
