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 ol’ city

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

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

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

 Why you gotta be so mean?

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 ’cause 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

 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 ol’ city

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

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

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

 Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar

 Talking over a football game

 With that same big loud opinion

 But 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 alone in life

 And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

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

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah

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

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

 Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I’ll be living in a big ol’ city

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah

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

 And all you’re ever going to be is mean

 Why you gotta be so mean?
