[Verse 1]
            
You, with your

         
 words like kn

ives
      
And swords and

 weapons that 

you use agains

t me,
           
You, have knoc

              
ked me off my 


feet again,

Got me feeling like I’m nothing.
            
You, with your

             
 voice like na

            
ils on a chalk

board

Calling me out when I’m wounded.
           
You, pickin’ o

         
n the weaker m

an.


Well you can t

ake 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 old city,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean.
            
Someday, I’ll 

    
be big enough 

so you can’t h

it me,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean.
              
Why you gotta 

       
be so mean?

[Verse 2]
            
You, with your

    
 switching sid

es,
          
And your walk 

by lies and yo

ur humiliation
           
You, have poin

             
ted out my fla

#
ws again,

As if I don’t already see them.
          
I walk with my

 head down,
            
Trying to bloc

k you out caus

e I’ll never i

mpress you
           
I just wanna f

      
eel okay again

.


I bet you got 

pushed around,
         
Somebody made 

you cold,

But the cycle 

ends right now

,
       
You can’t lead

 me down that 

road,

You don’t know, what you don’t know

[Chorus]
            
Someday, I’ll 

     
be living in a

 big old city,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean.
            
Someday, I’ll 

    
be big enough 

so you can’t h

it 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 opin

ion but,
             
Nobody’s liste

              
ning,
             
Washed up and 

              
ranting about 

            
the same old b

       
itter things,
             
Drunk and grum

              
bling on about

            
 how I can’t s


ing.

              
But all you ar

            
e is mean,
            
All you are is

  
 mean.
             
And a liar, an

            
d pathetic, an

    
d alone in lif

e,
             
And mean, and 

           
mean, and mean

       
, and mean

[Chorus] x4
            
Someday, I’ll 

     
be living in a

 big old city,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean.
            
Someday, I’ll 

    
be big enough 

so you can’t h

it me,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean.
              
Why you gotta 

       
be so mean?
