[Em]
[A]
I'm a mean machine.
I'm a mean machine.
[G] Gotta [A] be mean.
Just a fair human being.
This ain't no art from the bottom of a hen house.
Rip out your brains and you got them for a mouth of door.
I'm mean.
I'm a mean machine.
[G]
I gotta [A] be mean.
Just a cut of a bad human being.
[E]
I [A] can't stand nothing, boy.
I got the high notes, luster.
I'll massacre your ass as fast as a [G] bull or a custer.
[A] Cause I'm mean.
Yeah, I'm a mean machine.
I [G] just gotta [A] be mean.
Yeah, just a fair human being.
You [D] wanna go to the devil [C] but you don't like the [A] flames.
Blood on Satan's claws [G] is my middle [E] name.
Because [A] I'm mean.
[G] I'm a mean [A] machine.
Yeah, I gotta be mean.
[G] Just a fair [A] human being.
Listen to me now.

Just a fair human being.
I'm telling you, I'm mean.
Yeah, I'm a mean machine.
I [G] just gotta [A] be mean.
Just a fair human being.
I got a sweet little bitty baby's ass.
But I'm mean.
I'm a spine snapping daddy.
You hear that?
[G] Soul [A] snatcher.
I pack my teeth with twerks like you.
I am the uninhibited, daring, provocative, original, uncensored version.
Two-fisted, gun-throttling, sick-shooting, brain-in-the-head fucking mean.
[G] All the [A] more shocking because it's true.
Lots of wicked ass.
Like Liberace.
