[PUCK]
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, 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
You, pickin' on the weaker man

[COACH BEASTE]
Well you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know

[PUCK with COACH BEASTE]
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 hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[PUCK]
Why you gotta be so mean?

[COACH BEASTE]
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them

[PUCK & COACH BEASTE]
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out

[PUCK]
'Cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around

[PUCK with COACH BEASTE]
Somebody made you cold

[PUCK]
But the cycle ends right now

[COACH BEASTE]
Cause you can't lead me down that road
You don't know, what you don't know

[PUCK with COACH BEASTE]
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 hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[PUCK]
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar

[PUCK with COACH BEASTE]
Talking over a football game

[PUCK]
With that same big loud opinion but

[PUCK with COACH BEASTE]
Nobody's listening

[PUCK]
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

[COACH BEASTE]
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean

[PUCK]
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean

[PUCK & COACH BEASTE]
And mean, and mean, and mean

But someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean. Yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[COACH BEASTE, (PUCK)]
Why you gotta be so mean? (Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city)
Why you gotta be so mean? (And all you're ever gonna be is mean)
Why you gotta be so mean? (Someday, I'll be living in a big old city)
Why you gotta be so mean?

[PUCK]
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[PUCK & COACH BEASTE]
Why you gotta be so mean?
