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 feelin' like a nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard callin' me out when I'm wounded You, pickin' on the weaker man You can take me down with just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear 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 don't already see them I walk with my head down, tryna 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 livin' in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear 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 Talkin' 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 complained and all about how I can't sing 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 livin' 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 hear me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? Someday I'll be livin' 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 hear me (Why you gotta be so mean?) And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
