One day, when the world is set to rights
I'm going to murder all the people I don't like
The people who have left me down without reserve
The people who are cruel to those that don't deserve
The people who talk too much
The people who don't care
The people whose lives are going nowhere
The people who just give in
The people who don't fight
The people I don't like

The people who broke my heart so bad it never mends
The people who wrecked my life and all my so-called friends
The people who don't know when to forget and forgive.
These are the people who do not deserve to live.
The people who talk too much, The people who don't care
The people whose lives just leave me crying in despair
The people who told me I was wrong and they were right
The people I don't like.

    My Interpretation

    Hello! This is my first time here and I'm quite a youngster, only 15!

    Anyways, I noticed there was a lack of interpretation for this song although the meaning is quite straightforward, which is in the title "You Should All Be Murdered" but I still wanna share my interpretation!

    I don't think the writer of this song intended the meaning to be in his point of view but rather as a third-person view from everyone, the lyrics of this song wherein he describes the people who he would've murdered kinda proves this, in one of them they mentioned "The people who don't know when to forget and forgive" and "The people who told me I was wrong and they were right" which would also be referring to himself... therefore I think he describes all of humanity, including him, all of us. As we read through the lyrics, there will always be something that you can empathize with.

    The world is a wonderful place filled with terrible people, and that's why we all should be murdered, someday that will happen, but for now, what we really can only do is be the ones to stand up and be the wonderful people in this world.

    I hope I didn't drag this out for too long, but I also want to add one more thing. As a Smiths Fan, I thought the singer was Morrissey at first, and I was surprised to know that it wasn't him. Although, it's one of the charms of this song. Great song! Aylabet!
