You with your words
like knives and swords
And weapons that
You have knocked me
off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You with your voice like
nails on a chalk board
Callin 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 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 wild fire 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 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 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't see you years
from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But no one's listening
Washed up and ranting about the
same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling 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
Someday I'll be living
in a big old city
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?
