First of all, the narrator of the song (assuming s/he's female) is conveying that she hates living and hates people, but also that she doesn't want to die either, because she imagines she'll experience discomfort although she's dead. Since she's still around, then, she's willing to help other people out with whatever they need even though she feels nothing but contempt for them.
I always interpret the lyrics as honest (and I mean REALLY honest) self-criticism. This is how the singer really feels, but she recognizes how absurd and seemingly contradictory the feeling is when spelled out.
I feel the need to defend this song a little bit.
