I don't want to 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 and

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

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

Yeah

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
