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 Manitas, 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



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
