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 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 ole 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 walk by 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 ole 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 ole city
and all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah eh
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 ole 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?
