Verse:
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 m
an
Pre-chorus:
Well, you can take me down
with just one
single
blow / But
you don't know, what you don't know
Chorus:
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?
Verse:
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
want to feel o
kay again
Pre-chorus:
I'll 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
Chorus:
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?

Bridge:
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 ol'
bitter
things
Drunk and grumbling on about how
I can't
sing,
but
all you are is
mea
n
/
All you are is
mean and a
liar and pa
thetic and a
lone in life and
mean and
mean and
mean and
mean
Chorus:
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
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 ol'
city and
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
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 and
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
all you're
ever gonna be is
mean
Why you gotta be so
mean?
