Mean Girls (have to play dirty)

Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ wrong.
Mean girls are really nice girls till they see somethin’ wrong.
Bullying, injustice, treating women bad,
bashing on the gay kids, people goin’ mad.
Mean girls have to play dirty when they see something wrong.

Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ bad.
Mean girls are really nice girls till they see somethin’ bad.
People who are different, people who are poor,
should be treated equal - that’s the Golden Rule.
Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ bad.

Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ sick.
Mean girls are really nice girls till they see somethin’ sick.
End the goddamn hating. Stop the endless wars.
Help the fleeing children. Open up your doors.
Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ sick.

Mean girls come to the rescue when you least expect.
They gonna set you straight, gonna change your fate,
and teach you some respect.
You gonna hurt somebody? We will hurt you back.
Gonna stop you from makin’ more shame.
We don’t want you here, gonna send you outta town,
back to hell from where you came.

Gonna punch you in your face. Gonna put you in your place.
You’re gonna know the way it feels.
Gonna kick your ass. Gonna send you to the past,
‘cause you can accept what’s real.

Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ bad.
Mean girls are really nice girls till they see somethin’ bad.
Get out of our bedrooms. Stay out of our wombs.
“Don’t judge others,” Jesus said, “that is so uncool”.
Poverty, injustice, bigotry and hate.
Get your act together, I swear it’s not too late.
Mean girls have to play dirty when they see somethin’ bad.
