It depends. Do you have some context? A dictionary is generally good for looking up single words like this.There is the word 'means' as a noun. Also, it's supposed to be a singular something. What is it? thanx

Thank you. It's the song from 'Wizards Of Waverly Place'. I highlighted both usages of the word 'means' in red
Well, you know everything's gonna be a breeze
That the end will no doubt justify the means
You could fix any problem at the slightest ease
Yes please
Well, you might find out, it'll go to your head
When you write a report on a book you never read
With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
That's what I said
Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems
