[Verse 1]

You, 
         
With your word

s like knives
            
and swords and

              
 weapons that

You,
             
Have knocked m

Got me feelin'

 like i'm noth

ing

You, 
            
With your voic

e like nails
            
on a chalkboar

           
d 
              
Callin' me out

   
 when i'm woun

ded

You,
             
Pickin' on the

         
 weaker man

[Pre-Chorus]

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 b

[Bridge]

And I can see 

years from now
in a bar

Talkin' over a

 football game

With that same

 big loud opin

ion

But nobody's l

istening

Washed up and 

ranting 
             
About the same

            
 ole' bitter t

   
hings.

Drunk and goin

 on about
            
How I can't si


ng.
                    
But all you are is mean.

   

             
All you are is

   
 mean.
       
and a liar.
       
and pathetic
      
and alone in l

ife
       
and mean.
      
and mean.
      
and mean.
      
and mean.

[Chorus]
            
But someday i'

ll be
            
Livin' in a bi

        
g ole' city
             
and all your e

             
ver gonna be i

    
s mean

Yeah
         
Someday I'll b

e
            
Big enough so
