You say your life's a total waste
You told me on the fire escape
Just before you bummed a cigarette
Well, youve always been a high live-wire
Never straight, but so inspired
It kills me when I see you so upset
Youre telling everyone
That Im the stubborn one
But guess who broke the spell
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Not a word from you in days
I guess its just your faucet ways
Running hot and cold and back again
But its hard to keep an open mind
When you keep changing all the time
Suddenly 'receiving', not 'to send'
Its always live and learn
But Im the one whos turned
But guess who broke the spell
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Youre a 5 on Saffir-Simpsons scale
Sharper than a broken nail
Im glad Im still alive to tell the tale
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Hell is other people
To hell with other people
Hell is other people
