Hated Lyrics

i smoke a pack a day
i hit the pipe sometimes
& drink my pay
screw my friends
understand my need to offend
come home & smack the woman around
tried to apologize
but she deserved it that i know
strangled with her pantyhose
what's with the flowers
can't YOU smell me
i buried YOU & still YOU kill me
with all your crying i can tell
that your disease will make me well
twist your head so i can witness
come & crawl inside my sickness
i'm hated
undisguised
never known why
now i like it

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.

Love the song and how it's set up: it's about someone who never felt sympathy until it caused them to hurt someone they love.
