What have I done, what have I got?

Your life is really useless, your life is really shot.

Hate it here, I hate it here this Anderson hell.

Life sucks but you're too blind to tell.

Don't you know I really hate it here and
Reiterating strong hatred for Anderson.
I will always hate it.
Declaring a perpetual hatred for the town.
Don't you know I really hate it here?

Who have you done, who have you got?

Your wife's a douchebag, your kid's a little fucking snot.

Trailer park bred, fast food fed,
Describing a stereotypical lifestyle: living in a trailer park, consuming fast food.
Forever K-Mart shopping, fucked in the head.
