"smash" and "be worked" in these lyrics?
1) Here's one of the verses of the song Smash by the punk rock band The Offspring. Shouldn't it be smashed instead of smash?
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
2) What's the meaning of "I'm worked so bad..." in the song The Worst Hangover Ever, by The Offspring?
And by my seventh shot I was invincible
I would have never thought I'd be this miserable
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
