You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You, you've knocked me off my feet again, you got me feeling like nothing
You, with your words like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on a weaker man
You can take me down in just one single blow
What you don't know, what you don't know is someday I'll be living in a big old city
And no one will ever know
And no you're ever gonna be as mean
Oh, someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And no you're ever gonna be as mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You, you've knocked me off my feet again, you got me feeling like nothing
You, you've pointed out my flaws again, as if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down, trying to block you out
Cause I'll never impress you, I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
Where the cycle ends right now, cause you can't lead me down that road
You don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And no you're ever gonna be as mean
Oh, someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And no you're ever gonna be as mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
guitar solo
See you now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same old loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Ranting and raging about the same old bitter things
Drunk and going on about how I can't see
All you are is me
All you are is me
All you are is me

Ooh
Ooh, all you are is me
Oh, oh, oh
All you are is me
Oh, someday I'll be
Livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is a meme
Why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta be so mean?
