Haley actually says that the song is about some girl they knew, and how she destroyed one of their friends with her sexuality and that their are a lot of girls just like her out there using people.

Basically she was into this guy who was dating this manipulative, malicious girl, and was waiting for them to finally be over hence"I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free" then she made her move and wound up with the guy. His ex is jealous and the current girlfriend loves every minute of it"She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile" and goes on to say that basically she doesn't have to brag because she has what she wants(the guy)

The song basically explains itself.

I think just from the video that the song is about how pretty can be pretty evil. Like in the video the popular girl ruled and caused everyone else's experiences in school hell.

"Misery Business" has its origins in a message Hayley put on the band’s Live Journal page, asking her fans to post what they’re ashamed of. “I found that people really were reaching out to someone to spill their guts to,” she recalls, “So I did the same thing lyrically in the song and let everything out. It’s more honest than anything I’ve ever written, and the guys matched that emotion musically.” Go to Paramore.net and check it out..

Sweet SWEET REVENGE BITCH o god you know how good it would feel to get revenge on one of those fake who, whores at school, I mean one of those girls take away the one you love with her hour glass curves ,on the inside you know she is shallow, but then he leaves the whore for you, and you take him back and rub her little make-up covered face in it and show every body how fake she is. she never ment to brag BUT IT JUST FELT SOOO GOOD (to get revenge on one of those little whores >=)

The video clip pretty much explains it,

It's about how a girl waited for this guy to dump/get dumped by a cumslut. And finally, they're together and they couldn't be happier without the cumslut. And she's just singing to brag.

This probably hits close to home for everyone. Personally, I'm waiting for the guy to dump the cumslut, because we were together before and we couldn't have been better together. We even had plans for each other in the future, but the cumslut just had to bring it all back and take him away, and just fuck with him again, like she did the other time, before he was mine. Everyone knows that he should be with me, and all I can do is wait for him to realize she isn't for him, and vice versa...

um...basicly, her last boyfriend was taken by a whor and shes talking about how better her life is without her or him in hayleys life :)

I believe this song was made when Hayley was 18 and she was going through a rough time in high school.

I'm pretty sure it's about this popular girl who is a total skank steals her boyfriend away from her and after they break up Hayley tells the guy that she loves him and how she really feels and the skank is out to get her after Hayley's happy ending.

Basically, she's met this guy, who she's really into. But before she has a chance to tell him, her slutty friend, or someone she's knows, comes along, and takes him for the hell of it.

So she waits and waits, for ages, just waiting for him to be free again. And suddenly, she gets her chance, so she jumps in, before something else could happen. But the slutty "friend" is jealous, because she basically only took the guy, so she couldn't have him. And now of course, the slut has it out for her.
In the chorus, I think she's being sarcastic, like "I Don't Wanna Brag, But Look!!" sorta... But then she says, "No, I didn't mean it like that, to take what you had, but it's a good thing you didn't destroy what good there was"
The second verse is about the slut wanting a second chance, because she sees how happy her "friend" is, but is told there's no second chances, and that she'll always be sleeping around for the rest of her life.

They're supposed to apologize, like good friends do, but they don't want to. And she tells the slut that the fashion may be to sleep around, but she's gonna refuse.

And the last verse is basically, she's making his wildest dreams come true, and there's nothing the slut can do, and because she isn't friends with the slut anymore, she doesn't get to see the happiness of the relationship
