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 I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a
chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' 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 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?
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'll walk with my head down trying to block
you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel 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 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?
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 old
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 old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't
hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got
me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a
chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' 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 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?
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'll walk with my head down trying to block
you out 'cause I'll never impress you

I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody

And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a 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?
And I can see you years from now in a bar,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't
hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
