A lot of that isn't right, This is a version I got from The Steve Albini Lyrics Project, which I've fixed up in a few parts; missing lines &c.

Of course this is far from perfect, but maybe a bit closer to the real words. Or not.


I started out drinking It stays that way Was not at all human And I killed another day On the wall is another earth At my neck is another knife Another wrinkle in my skin Another kick that I can't feel

I start out hating myself And when I'm through I've gotta have someone to hate And I guess it's you Man's gotta have someone to hate Guess I'll do And when I'm through with myself I'll start on you

Everything I do Makes me want to die I started out drinking I wonder why I started out drinking And it stays that way Was not at all human And I killed another day On the wall is another earth On my neck is the other knife Another wrinkle in my skin Another trip that I can't make Man's gotta hate someone And I guess I'll do And when I'm through with myself I'll start on you I start out hating myself And when I'm through I'm looking for someone to hate Guess you'll do
