I know there has to be stuff out there nowadays that isn't either miserable, blandly mellow, or ridiculously patriotic, but hell if I can find it.

    You, with your words like knives
    And swords and weapons that you use against me
    You, have knocked me off my feet again
    Got me feeling like a nothing
    You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
    Calling me out when I’m wounded
    You, picking on the weaker man
    Well you can take me down
    With just one single blow

    But you don’t know what you don’t know

    Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?

    You, with your switching sides
    And your walk by lies
    And your humiliation
    You, have pointed out my flaws again
    As if I don’t already see them
    I walk with my head down
    Tying to block you out
    Cause I’ll never impress you
    I just want to fell okay again
    I’ll bet you got pushed around
    Somebody made you cold
    But the cycle ends right now
    Cause you can’t lead me down that road
    And you don’t know what you don’t know

    Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
     And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?

    And I can see it years from now in a bar
    Talking over a football game
    With that same loud opinion
    But nobody’s listening
    Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
    Drunk and roaming all about how I can’t sing
    But all you are is mean

    All you are is mean
    And a liar
    And pathetic
    And alone in life
    And mean, And mean, And mean, And mean, And mean
     

    But someday I’ll be living in a big ole city
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

    Yeah

    Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?

    Someday I’ll be living in a big ole city
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

    Why you gotta be so mean?

    Miserable country is the best country.

    I don't get the hate on country; it's (stereo)typically pretty bland (though occasionally quite funny) lyrics-wise, but at least it's not obnoxious like lyrics (stereo)typical of death metal or rap, and if anything, it's got generally rather traditional and tried-and-true harmonic and melodic structure.

    I wish YT had a clip of Xander talking about Country...

    Ironically I think that's actually a true statement. Country only works form me when it's about pain and misery. Most modern country music is about racist rednecks telling me how much better they are than me.

    @GMH: While I won't deny that death metal and rap often have obnoxious lyrics (though in the case of death metal, you might be thinking of the sleazier genres, as there are many types of death metal), I find that country often does as well. It's the blandness and predictability that I find obnoxious, and that's not even including what more upbeat country does, which I'm not sure of.

    You say this like the same thing doesn't apply to rap.

    ^^Ok, no it's not. Sorry. (Flagellates self)

    ^^ It does; I just feel less qualified to make such broad statements about rap.

    I swear, every country song I've ever heard has the exact same chord progression, even with the better country artists.

    I love that song about ham buscuits though. Best country song ever!
