I don't wanna hear you talking loud about the way you think the world should be Carrying on them cruel intentions wicked ways for everyone to see Lord knows there's far too many people spreading hatred like a disease So quit all your malcontent and try to love your brother if you please It's an already mean enough world No, we don't need no more out of you So quit your cussing, carrying on and fighting that you do It's an already mean enough world, baby without you Don't rope me in your politics or spin me in your tangled web of lies I do not wish to be weighed down by ugliness nor hear what you despise Me, I'd rather not be forced to walk a mile in shoes too narrow for my size So unclench your fists a minute and replace them with some peace of mind Cause it's an already mean enough world No, we don't need no more out of you So quit your cussing, carrying on and fighting that you do It's an already mean enough world, baby without you Seems like every way the world goes round Someone's there to knock you down Well mama that don't make no sense to me Them haunted dreams I've laid to rest The chains you locked around my chest I've busted loose and now I'm running free Well lately I been thinking that the future holds all our worst fears That humankind will never learn the lessons of the last three thousand years It's still an eye an eye and tooth for tooth but it's not too late to lend an ear And stop all this hating before we all disappear It's an already mean enough world No, we don't need no more out of you So quit your cussing, carrying on and fighting that you do It's an already mean enough world, baby without you [x2]
