Your bargain basement character assassination's got me goin' mad

This quick and dirty skirmish is a three ring circus slipping through your grasp

Your guilty pleasure, turncoat feathers, unfeigned colors roots are gonna show

You'll run dry on excuses when the truth dams up from all the stones you've thrown

No big deal, it's not that deep, I wish

I wish you'd just come clean

Granted me that courtesy instead of being such a sneak

All good on my end, thanks for trying, soon our friends are gonna see

Underneath your pleasantries, you've got a mean streak

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You've got a mean streak

Well, at least your one-star, third-rate, half-ass, smear campaign feels like it's losing steam

The wheels are falling off, I guess it's hollow in the belly of the beast

(My therapist has told me I should be more forgiving of people that have wronged me)

(How's that working out for you?)

No big deal, it's not that deep, I wish, I wish you'd just come clean

Granted me that courtesy instead of being such a sneak

All good on my end, thanks for trying, soon our friends are gonna see

Underneath your pleasantries, you've got a mean streak

Well no big deal, let's call it even

Find new prey to sink your teeth in

Just say it to my face

(Instead of being such a snake!)

All good on my end, thanks for trying

Girl, your face is turning green

Let's agree to disagree, you've got a mean streak

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's no big deal if you hurt me, I wish

I wish you'd just come clean

Granted me that courtesy instead of being such a sneak

All good on my end, thanks for trying, soon our friends are gonna see

Underneath your pleasantries, you've got a mean streak

All good on my end, thanks for trying

Girl, your face is turning green

But if anyone asks me, you've got a mean streak

(The only person you care about is you!)

(But I said and then you said.. Oh!)
