The Hell of It Songtext
von Paul Williams

Roll on thunder, shine on lightnin′
The days are long and the nights are frightnin'
Nothing matters anyway and that′s the hell of it

Winter comes and the winds blow colder
While some grew wiser, you just grew older
You never listened anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin', bad in bed
Nobody likes you and you′re better off dead, goodbye (goodbye)
We′ve all come to say goodbye (goodbye), goodbye (goodbye)
Born defeated, died in vain
Super destructive, you were hooked on pain
And though your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone


If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
I′m convinced that I'd wind up burning too

Love yourself as you love no other
Be no man′s fool and be no man's brother
We′re all born to die alone y'know that's the hell of it

Life′s a game where they′re bound to beat you
And time's a trick they can turn to cheat you
And we′d only waste it anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin′, bad in bed
Nobody liked you and you're better off dead, goodbye (goodbye)
We′ve all come to say goodbye (goodbye), goodbye (goodbye)
Born defeated, died in vain
Super destructive, you were hooked on pain
And though your music lingers on
Well, all of us are glad you're gone
