Beat It
Defying Conformity: Beat the Pressure
Lyrics
They told him don't you ever come around here
Advising someone to stay away from a certain place or situation.
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear
Warning against being present; urging disappearance.
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
Describing hostility in the eyes and words of others.
So beat it, just beat it
Encouraging the listener to leave the situation immediately.
You better run, you better do what you can
Advising quick escape and doing whatever is possible.
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
Discouraging violence and macho behavior.
You want to be tough, better do what you can
Suggesting toughness within reasonable limits.
So beat it, but you want to be bad
Reiterating the need to leave but acknowledging the desire to appear rebellious.
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
Emphasizing the importance of leaving the situation.
No one wants to be defeated
Expressing the general aversion to being defeated.
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
Highlighting the significance of showcasing resilience and strength in a conflict.
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Asserting that the right or wrong aspect is irrelevant in the situation.
Just beat it, beat it
Reiterating the message to "beat it" with emphasis.
Just beat it, beat it
-Just beat it, beat it
-Just beat it, beat it
-They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Indicating a threat; advising immediate departure.
Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man
Discouraging immaturity and encouraging maturity.
You want to stay alive, better do what you can
Stressing the importance of self-preservation.
So beat it, just beat it
Reiterating the advice to leave the situation.
You have to show them that you're really not scared
Encouraging the display of fearlessness.
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
Highlighting the seriousness of the risk involved.
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Describing potential harm and rationalizing it as fair.
Then they'll tell you it's fair
-So beat it, but you want to be bad
Acknowledging the desire to rebel despite the advice to leave.
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
