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.
It's not that i wanted to hurt you
I just didn't care if i did
It is not that i just forgot you
Also, i forgot everything else
It is not that i do not love you
It's just that i hate everyone
It's not that i wanted to hurt you
I just didn't care if i did
What i did, i did--who i am, i am
Then a stupid kid, now a stupid man
And if i never got my chance to be young
Then what stood between me and making myself one?
What alien at my back and with what ray gun?
When i picked up this pen, it was twenty one one
Why was i scremaing, "kill kill kill ronald reagan?"
Again and again, "kill kill ronald reagan"
But i made my bed, now we're fucking in it
You gotta be fucking in it to win it
