无可否认，Taylor Swift 的歌一直都很棒。也因为如此，她能够领那么多的奖项。之前有很多首歌曲我个人都喜欢，如：Back To December （曾经改编过），Mine，You Belong With Me 等等。
不过当中最让我感动的其实是这首Mean。很奇怪的，我第一次听的时候并没有马上被吸引住，直到看了Glee 其中的成员翻唱。
可能是剧情效应吧，因为那一场戏非常感人。Puck 觉得自己一事无成，整天被瞧不起；Coach Beiste 虽然外貌很强悍，内心却是个小女人，被老公家暴，深怕离开老公以后就没有人再爱她了。最后两个人一起合唱这首歌，唤醒内心自己真正的想法，重新认识自己。这场戏用这首歌曲来表达最适合不过了。就这样让我察觉了这首遗珠。
这首歌真的很激励人生，不怕任何的打压，相信未来的自己，努力一定会获得好报，期待那灿烂的一刻。那些看不起我的人，我会证明给他们看，他们是错的！
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
Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
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
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
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
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, 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
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 big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
