You say your life's a total waste   You told me on the fire escape   Just before you bummed a cigarette      Well, you?ve always been a high live-wire   Never straight, but so inspired   It kills me when I see you so upset      You?re telling everyone   That I?m 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 it?s just your faucet ways   Running hot and cold and back again      But it?s hard to keep an open mind   When you keep changing all the time   Suddenly 'receiving', not 'to send'      It?s always live and learn   But I?m the one who?s turned   But guess who broke the spell      Hell is other people   To hell with other people      You?re a 5 on Saffir-Simpson?s scale   Sharper than a broken nail   I?m glad I?m 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
