VERSE 1

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 men.

Well you cant take me down,

with just one single blow.

But you dont know, what you dont know

CHORUS

Someday,

I'll be living in the big old 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.

VERSE 2

You,

with your switching sides,

and your wildfire 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,

trying to block you out,

cuz I'll never impress you.

I,

just wanna feel okay again.

I bet you got pushed around.

Somebody made you cold.

But the cycle ends right now,

cuz you can't leave me down that road.

Well you don't know,

what you dont know.

CHORUS

Someday,

I'll be living in the big old 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.

BRIDGE

And I can,

see you years from now

in a barn.

Talking over a football game.

But that same big loud opinion,

and nobody's listening.

Washed up and ranting

about the same, old, bitter things.

Drunk and grumbling on about

how I can't sing.

But all you are is mean.

All you are is mean,

and a liar,

and pathetic,

and a lonely life.

And mean.

And mean.

And mean.

And mean.

CHORUS

But someday I'll be,

living in a big old city.

and all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so-

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?
