(G)I don't wanna hear you talking (C)loud about the way you think the world should (G)be
Oh, carrying on them cruel intentions (E)wicked ways for everyone to (Am)see (D)
Lord knows (G/B) there's far too many people spreading hatred like a disease (C)
So, (G) quit all your malcontent and (D)try to love your brother if you (G)please

(Chorus)
It's an (C)already mean enough (G)world
No, (C)we don't need no more out of (G)you
So, (C)quit your cussing, carrying on and (G)fighting (D)that you (Em)do (C)
It's an (G)already (D)mean enough (C)world, (D)baby without (G)you

Don't (G)rope me in your politics or (C)spin me in your tangled web of (G)lies
I do not wish to be weighed down by (E)ugliness nor hear what you des-(Am)pies (D)
Me, I'd (G/B)rather not be forced to walk a mile in shoes too narrow for my (C) size
So, un-(G)clench your fists a minute and re-(D)place them with some peace of (G)mind

(Chorus)
Oh, 'cause it's an (C)already mean enough (G)world
No, (C)we don't need no more out of (G)you
So, (C)quit your cussing, carrying on and (G)fighting (D)that you (Em)do (C)
It's an (G)already (D)mean enough (C)world, (D)baby without (G)you

Seems like (Em)every way the world goes round, (D)someone's there to knock you down
Well, (C)mama that don't make no sense to me (G)
Them (Em)haunted dreams I've laid to rest, the (D)chains you locked around my chest
I've (C)busted loose and now I'm running (A/E)free (D)

Well (G)lately I been thinking that the (C)future holds all our worst (G)fears
That humankind will never learn the (E)lessons of the last three thousand (Am)years (D)
It's (G/B)still an eye an eye and tooth for tooth but it's not too late to lend an ear (C)
And (G)stop all this hating be-(D)fore we all disap-(G)pear

(Chorus)
Oh, it's an (C)already mean enough (G)world
No, (C)we don't need no more out of (G)you
So (C)quit your cussing, carrying on and (G)fighting (D)that you do (Em) (C)
It's an (G)already (D)mean enough (C)world, (D)baby without (G)you

(Chorus)
Yeah, it's an (C)already mean enough (G)world
No, (C)we don't need no more out of (G)you
So (C)quit your cussing, carrying on and (G)fighting (D)that you do (Em) (C)
It's an (G)already (D)mean enough (C)world, (D)baby without (G)you |(G) |(G) |(G) -----
