The Mountain Goats - Pseudothyrum Song lyrics

Why do you treat me this way? And why do you try so hard to break my spirit? I think someone was mean to you when you were little, That's what i think. I think someone was mean to you. Why do you cling to such petty points of contention? And why don't you allow one or two small victories now and then? I think someone was mean to you when you didn't deserve it, That's what i think. I think someone was mean to you. But i, i am not that guy. Can you get that straight? I am a completely different person From the one you have in mind. Why do you stand by the things you say long after You don't mean to hurt anybody anymore? I think someone was mean to you For a long, long time, that's what i think. I think someone was mean to you
