Wasted Lyrics

I was so wasted
i was so wasted
I was wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout
you know i was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man
I lived on the strand

I was so wasted,I was wasted

I was so fucked up
I was so screwed up
I was so jacked up
I couldn't get any higher than that
I was so pilled up
I was so nebbed out
I was so jacked up
I was out of my head

I was so wasted
I was so wasted

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Uh...it's not a cover. Keith Morris wrote the lyrics and the "melody" (if I can call it that)to the Black Flag song "Wasted", with Greg Ginn supplying the music in his trademark writing style of the time (which was generally more dark and dissonant than other punk bands of the era, including the later-to-be-formed Circle Jerks). When Keith Morris jumped ship and started Circle Jerks, he wanted to keep this song and "I Don't Care" because he had at least a 50% songwriting investment in those songs. So he kept his words and probably Greg Hetson wrote new music, thus creating a "new" song with the same title, words, and one shared co-creator.
