G                              C                                             G
I don't wanna hear you talking loud about the way you think the world should be
                                      E                           Am  D
Oh, carrying on them cruel intentions wicked ways for everyone to see
           G/B                                                         C
Lord knows there's far too many people spreading hatred like a disease
    G                            D                               G
So, quit all your malcontent and try to love your brother if you please
 
[Chorus]
        C                   G
It's an already mean enough world
    C                            G
No, we don't need no more out of you
    C                                  G        D        Em C
So, quit your cussing, carrying on and fighting that you do
        G       D           C      D            G
It's an already mean enough world, baby without you
 
      G                           C                              G
Don't rope me in your politics or spin me in your tangled web of lies
                                    E                               Am   D
I do not wish to be weighed down by ugliness nor hear what you des- pies
        G/B                                                            C
Me, I'd rather not be forced to walk a mile in shoes too narrow for my size
        G                                  D                             G
So, un- clench your fists a minute and re- place them with some peace of mind
 
[Chorus]
                   C                   G
Oh, 'cause it's an already mean enough world
    C                            G
No, we don't need no more out of you
    C                                  G        D        Em C
So, quit your cussing, carrying on and fighting that you do
        G       D           C      D            G
It's an already mean enough world, baby without you
 
           Em                              D
Seems like every way the world goes round, someone's there to knock you down
      C                                   G
Well, mama that don't make no sense to me
     Em                                    D
Them haunted dreams I've laid to rest, the chains you locked around my chest
     C                                A/E  D
I've busted loose and now I'm running free

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

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