The Lyrics

Why be polite when... I am done wrong
Why should I listen to some jerkoff who sounds like a con?


I gotta be mean
I Gotta Be Mean
You know what I mean?
Why give a damn?


I want a friend not MLM jive
I got to sus out all the parasites that’ll eat me alive


I gotta be mean
I Gotta Be Mean!
I hate all the schemes
And I won’t be SCAMED!


Those ‘to good to be...’ lies, a crock of B.S.
Is preying on me, if I choose to fall

I won’t mellow out, won’t try to invest
If there’s a chance I could lose it all


I’ll tell shysters NO! - And ask them to leave
If they’re sounding to good to be true
Then I won’t be deceived


I gotta be mean
I Gotta Be Mean!


Hearing their lies - makes me red in the eyes


I Gotta Be Mean!


I’ll tell sh!t bags G0! - and show them the door
And if they don’t see my P.O.V.
Then they’ll see my four four

I gotta be mean
I just Gotta Be Mean!


Hearing their shize - makes me red in the eyes

I GOTTA BE MEAN!
