You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you
use against me(1)
You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board calling me out when
I’m winded(1)
You, picking on the weaker man.
You can take me down, with just one single blow(2)
But you don’t know, what you don’t know
Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole(3) city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean(4)
Some day, 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(5) lies and your humiliation(6)
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don’t already see them
I walk with my head down tryna(7) block you out(8), 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
Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Some day, 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(9) about the same old bitter things
Drunk and rumbling(10) 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
Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Some day, 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?
Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Some day, 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?
