Gotta Get Mean Lyrics - Blues Traveler - Blues Traveler

In this vale of toil and sin 

You're stuck in a race that you just cant win 

Just take a look around and it's so obscene 

But that's the way it is, so you gotta get mean 

Don't waste your time wonderin' why 

'Cause the only thing you know is that someday you'll die 

You gotta get tough, you gotta get lean 

But the best of all you got to gotta get mean 

You give me an inch and I'll blow you away 

It's part of this dangerous game that we play 

You'd do the same if you'd seen what I'd seen 

So, Cest la vie, mon cherie, ya gotta get mean 

You got to gotta get mean
