You, with your words like knives an d swords
(G)
And weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off m y feet again
(G)
Got me feelin'like a nothin'
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
(G)
Callin'me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin'on the weaker man
Well you can take me do wn with just on e sing le blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be l ivin'in a big ol'city
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean
Someday I'll be b ig enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean
Why you g otta be s o mean ?
You, with your swithching sides and
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out m y flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Tryin'to b lock you out
'Cause I never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made yo u cold
(A)
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 l ivin in a big ol'city
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean
Someday I'll be b ig enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean
Why you gotta be so mean ?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talkin'over a football gam e
(A)
With that same big loud opinion
But no one's listeni ng
(A)
Washed up and ranting about the
Same old bitte r things
Drunk and grumblin'all about how I c an't sing
But all you are is m ean
All you are is mean...and a liar...a nd pathetic
And alone in life and mean, an d mean, a nd mean, and mean
But someda y I'll be livin in a big ol'city
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean , yeah--ah
Someday I'll be b ig enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean
W (G) hy you gotta be so... Someday
I'll be li vin in a big ol'city (why ya gotta be so mean)
And all you're ever gonna be i s mean (why ya gotta be so mean)
Someday I'll be b ig enough so you can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)
And all yo u're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean ?
