well the point of mean girls is that they’re all mean. regina’s mean for whatever reason, gretchen’s mean to please regina, janis is mean because the people in the school treated her terribly, damian and karen aren’t awful, and cady’s mean because she was influenced by regina and let the power go to her head.

Me, with my words like knives And my swords and weapons that I used against you I, have knocked you off your feet again, Got you feeling like a nothing You, with your voice like nails On a chalk board, calling you out when you're wounded Me, picking on the weaker man Well, I can take you down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all I'm ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so I can't hear you Yes, all I'm ever gonna be is mean You won't twist in knots to join my game Then you say I make you mad And when I treat you bad You say "you're bad" And you'll eat alone from this moment on That's just what you'll do 'Cause you'd rather be me You'd rather be me You'd rather be me than be like You, with your teeth like corn And your high pitched voice And your lack of humour I have pointed out your flaws again As if you don't already see them You walk with your head down, Try to block me out 'cause you never impress me You just want to feel okay again So here's my right finger To how I should behave 'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you Just makes you brave Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all I'm ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so I can't hear you I don't need their good opinions I have plenty of opinions Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true What's true is being me And I'd rather be mean I'd rather be me than be like you So I'll raise 'em high 'cause playing nice and shy would be insulting to my IQ You'd rather be me (I'd rather be you) You'd rather be me (I'd rather be you) You'd rather be me than be like you!

@@lunacy5772 it is easier to sing an 'e' vowel as 'ay' if it's very high and you don't want to strain. but this is a note that barrett used to be able to sing with no issue before her heathers vocal damage, so i think people call it out because the 'ay' vowel draws attention to that strain in her voice and the fact her belt maybe isn't very healthy.
