The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The old days were no fun
I'm not sorry that they're gone
I don't miss them and I won't miss them
and it was always wrong
Everything I've ever done
From the beginning and to the ending
and things never got better, it seems like forever
Since we had fun or maybe I never have fun
And this whole time! I've been around
One minute up!
and a hundred down uhhh ohhh
Keep on laughing, Keep attacking
I'll show you what it means
To keep on lying, keep denying
That there's nothing good in me
I'm not worthless, I know you heard this
My life's ajoke and the joke's on me
The joke's on me
You were always lame, a headache and a pain
I don't miss you and I won't miss you
I tired not to get bitter but I was such a quitter
Oh yeah I had dreams but they were only ever had dreams
And this whole time! I've been around
One minute up!
and a hundred down uhhh ohhh
Keep on laughing, Keep attacking
I'll show you what it means
To keep on lying, keep denying
That there's nothing good in me
I'm not worthless, I know you heard this
My life's ajoke and the joke's on me
The joke's on me, The joke's on me...
Well there never were any good old days
Looking back I1m still amazed
That everything went wrong in every way
There were no good old days
[2x]
And this whole time! I've been around
One minute up!
and a hundred down uhhh ohhh
Keep on laughing, Keep attacking
I'll show you what it means
To keep on lying, keep denying
That there's nothing good in me
I'm not worthless, I know you heard this
My life's ajoke and the joke's on me
The joke's on me, The joke's on me...
