Mean Lyrics


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 chalk board 
Calling me out when I'm wounded 
You, picking on the weaker man 
You can't take me down with just one 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 walk with my head down 
Trying to block you out 
'Cause I never impress you 
I just want to 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 

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? 

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 
Drunken, 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 
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?
