You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that anda use against me
anda have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
anda picking on the weaker man

anda can take me down with just one single blow
But anda don't know, what anda don't know...

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 anda can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why anda gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
anda have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block anda out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet anda got pushed around
Somebody made anda cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause anda can't lead me down that road
And anda don't know, what anda don't know...

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 anda can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why anda gotta be so mean?

And I can see anda 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 old pahit things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all anda are is mean

All anda are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so anda can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why anda gotta be so?..

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why anda gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why anda gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so anda can't hit me (Why anda gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why anda gotta be so mean?
