I Just Started Hating Some People Today

Beck · Other Songs - Beck

I just started to see the light of day

Some people say one thing but act the other way

Sooner or later they give themselves away

And I just started to see the light of day



I just started hating some people today

Talking trash behind your back all day

Saying things that a garbage man would not say

And I just started hating some people today



I just started wanting to kill someone

And I don't need a nunchuck or a gun

Cause one look at my eye and you will run

And I just wanted, wanted to kill someone



I just started wanting to see you dead

At least one half of the double life you lead

And I may be joking, you'll be choking instead

And I just started wanting to see you dead



I just started wanting to punch your face

You might wanna wear a helmet just in case

What was once your face is gonna be replaced

And I just started wanting to punch your face



I just started hating some people today

Rick and Thor and Randy better run away (Randy)

Some others I don't even think I have to name

Cause I just started seeing the light of day



I hate you Randy

I just want to ?

I just want to ?

?

I hate you Randy



Oh yeah

I'm gonna kill you

Oh yeah

I'm gonna kill you Randy

Skiddly diddly wow

I'm gonna watch you die

You're so dead

I Just Started Hating Some People Today

Released on Beck's 1994 album Odelay, this track stands as a quintessential example of the album's eclectic fusion of indie rock, hip-hop, and world music. The song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that drives its hypnotic groove, characteristic of the era's alternative sound. It explores themes of social alienation and the complexities of modern relationships, delivered with Beck's signature vocal style that blends melodic pop sensibilities with introspective lyricism. As a staple of the Odelay catalog, the recording captures the cultural zeitgeist of the mid-90s, influencing countless subsequent artists in the indie and alternative genres.
