Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lent You must've known that it was Easter There for a while, in your smile, I could see Mexico blood Say this is true, I was a teaser There were a thousand man-eaters being exchanged for Pesetas Man, it was hard not to laugh out loud I couldn't believe the size of the crowd You must have fooled them into coming Wow! There were women and children, too They would have hanged us if they knew I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the party Man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean Remember the time, what a time, we had down in Barcelona After you'd been slaying babies There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises But I never thought of smashing rules You wore the yellow bandana and gave out Heavenly Manna Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun You never let on you had a gun And then you shot that Spanish Dancer The speed at which we ran for a mile or two They would have crucified us if they knew I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the party Man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean You think you're important and clever I tell you now where that's at You can be this way forever and ever Sooner or later you'll fall Man, show me something I've never seen You're only real in your Dream Machine And all your games are a little drastic Just throw me out if I get obscene But that's the way that I've always been I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, we're only living a party Man, it was mean, it was mean, man, it was mean Ooh ooh we're having a party, ooh ooh we're having a party ....
