Beat on the Brat
Rebellious Rhythm: Sonic Youth's Baseball Bat Anthem
Lyrics
1,2,3,4
Counting in, starting the song
Beat on the brat
Repetition of the action of hitting
Beat on the brat
Reiteration of hitting
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Continuation of hitting action with a specific object
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
Expressing excitement or intensity about the action
Beat on the brat
Repetition of the action of hitting
Beat on the brat
Reiteration of hitting
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Continuation of hitting action with a specific object
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
Expressing excitement or intensity about the action
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
-What can you do?
Questioning what actions are possible or feasible in this situation
What can you do?
Repetition of the previous question
With a brat like that always on your back
Describing the challenge of dealing with a difficult person
What can you lose?
Questioning what one stands to lose in this circumstance
What can you do?
Repetition of the question about feasible actions
What can you do?
-With a brat like that always on your back
Describing the challenge of dealing with a difficult person
What can you lose?
Questioning what one stands to lose in this circumstance
Lose
Emphasizing the possibility of loss
Beat on the brat
Repetition of the action of hitting
Beat on the brat
Reiteration of hitting
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Continuation of hitting action with a specific object
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
Expressing excitement or intensity about the action
Beat on the brat
Repetition of the action of hitting
Beat on the brat
Reiteration of hitting
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Continuation of hitting action with a specific object
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
Expressing excitement or intensity about the action
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh
-What can you do?
Questioning what actions are possible or feasible in this situation
What can you do?
Repetition of the previous question
With a brat like that always on your back
Describing the challenge of dealing with a difficult person
What can you lose?
Questioning what one stands to lose in this circumstance
What can you do?
Repetition of the question about feasible actions
What can you do?
-With a brat like that always on your back
Describing the challenge of dealing with a difficult person
What can you lose?
Questioning what one stands to lose in this circumstance
Lose
Emphasizing the possibility of loss
