[00:01.45]You, with your words like knives
[00:03.54]and swords and weapons that you use against me
[00:06.91]You, have knocked me off my feet again,
[00:10.97]got me feelin' like a nothing
[00:12.90]You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
[00:16.28]callin' me out when I'm wounded
[00:18.30]You, pickin' on the weaker man
[00:25.36]You can take me down with just one single blow
[00:32.70]But you don't know what you don't know
[00:35.90]
[00:36.30]Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
[00:41.61]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[00:47.67]Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
[00:53.34]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[00:57.98]Why you gotta be so mean?
[01:01.34]
[01:05.21]You, with your switching sides
[01:08.00]and your wildfire lies and your humiliation
[01:10.53]You, have pointed out my flaws again,
[01:15.38]as if don't already see them
[01:17.36]I walk with my head down,
[01:19.71]tryna block you out 'cause I never impress you
[01:22.91]I just wanna feel okay again
[01:29.09]I bet you got pushed around,
[01:32.05]somebody made you cold
[01:34.95]But the cycle ends right now
[01:37.25]'cause you can't lead me down that road
[01:40.12]And you don't know what you don't know
[01:43.01]
[01:43.45]Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
[01:48.86]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[01:54.95]Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
[02:00.56]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[02:05.24]Why you gotta be so mean?
[02:08.84]
[02:18.04]And I can see you years from now in a bar
[02:21.65]Talkin' over a football game
[02:24.59]With that same big loud opinion but
[02:27.10]Nobody's listening
[02:30.42]Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
[02:38.78]Drunk and complained and all about how I can't sing
[02:45.06]All you are is mean
[02:48.73]
[02:50.77]All you are is mean
[02:53.17]And a liar
[02:54.56]And pathetic
[02:55.69]And alone in life
[02:57.73]And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
[03:02.95]
[03:03.38]But someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
[03:09.31]And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
[03:15.53]Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
[03:20.92]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:25.85]Why you gotta be so mean?
[03:28.56]Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
[03:31.91](Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:32.98]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:37.54](Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:39.01]Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
[03:43.67](Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:44.67]And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:49.12]Why you gotta be so mean?
