Mean

You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me

You, have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feeling like a nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I’m wounded

You, picking on the weaker man

Well you can take me down

With just one single blow

But you don’t know what you don’t know

Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides

And your walk by lies

And your humiliation

You, have pointed out my flaws again

As if I don’t already see them

I walk with my head down

Tying to block you out

Cause I’ll never impress you

I just want to fell okay again

I’ll bet you got pushed around

Somebody made you cold

But the cycle ends right now

Cause you can’t lead me down that road

And you don’t know what you don’t know

Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see it years from now in a bar

Talking over a football game

With that same loud opinion

But nobody’s listening

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

Drunk and roaming all about how I can’t sing

But all you are is mean

All you are is mean

And a liar

And pathetic

And alone in life

And mean

And mean

And mean

And mean

But someday I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Yeah

Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?
