Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for lent
you mustand've known that it was easter
there for a while, in your smile, i could see mexico blood
say this is true, i was a teaser
there were a thousand man-eaters being exchanged for pesetas
man, it was hard not to laugh out loud
i couldnand't believe the size of the crowd
you must have fooled them into coming
wow! there were women and children, too
they would have hanged us if they knew
i think i know for certain
inside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the party
man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean
Remember the time, what a time, we had down in barcelona
after youand'd been slaying babies
there, for a time, i was fooled by your disguises
but i never thought of smashing rules
you wore the yellow bandana and gave out heavenly manna
then in amsterdam you were perfect fun
you never let on you had a gun
and then you shot that spanish dancer
the speed at which we ran for a mile or two
they would have crucified us if they knew
i think i know for certain
inside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the party
man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean
You think youand're important and clever
i tell you now where thatand's at
you can be this way forever and ever
sooner or later youand'll fall
Man, show me something iand've never seen
youand're only real in your dream machine
and all your games are a little drastic
just throw me out if i get obscene
but thatand's the way that iand've always been
i think i know for certain
inside you sniggered so hearty, weand're only living a party
man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean
Ooh ooh weand're having a party, ooh ooh weand're having a party ....
