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 chalkboard
calling 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 and
Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' 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'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 wont take me down that road.
But you don't know what you don't know.
Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I'll be big enough so that you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?
Woah
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 rumbling on 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,
But someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Yeah, yeah.
Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Why ya gotta be so
Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Yeah
Some Day I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all your ever gonna be is mean
Why ya gotta be so mean
