Beat ’Em Up Songtext
von Iggy Pop

You gotta beat em, beat ′em, beat 'em up (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat 'em up (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat em, beat ′em, beat 'em up
Beat ′em up, beat 'em up (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat 'em (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat 'em
You know they're cheatin′ anyhow (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat 'em (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat 'em
You know they′re cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat ′em
Beat 'em up

This life is a numbers game
The rich live, the poor get blamed
The rich are happy and they're mean
The poor, just obscene (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat ′em (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat ′em
You know they're cheatin′ anyhow (beat 'em up)


You gotta beat ′em (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat 'em
You know they′re cheatin′ anyhow (beat 'em up)

You gotta beat em, beat ′em, beat 'em up (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up
Beat ′em up, beat 'em up
(Beat ′em up)
(Beat 'em up)

Nice girl with a heart of gold
A little naive, a little bold
Knocked′ up tossed out and abandoned
Now she's living on random (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat 'em (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat ′em
You know they′re cheatin' anyhow (beat ′em up)

She got beat up (beat 'em up)
She got beat up (beat ′em up)
You know they're cheatin′ anyhow (beat 'em up)


You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat em, beat ′em, beat 'em up (beat ′em up)
Beat 'em up, beat 'em up
(Beat ′em up)
(Beat ′em up)
(Beat 'em up)

Mom and dad worked and saved
Good and honest everyday
For their sweat, what did they get?
An old age home and a medical debt (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat 'em (beat ′em up)
You gotta beat 'em (beat ′em up)
You know they're cheatin' anyhow (beat ′em up)

They got beat up (beat ′em up)
They got beat up (beat 'em up)
You know they′re cheatin' anyhow (beat ′em up)

You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up (beat 'em up)
You gotta beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em up (beat ′em up)
Beat em, beat 'em, beat ′em (beat 'em up)
Beat ′em beat 'em beat ′em beat 'em up (beat 'em up)
Come on
Come on
Come on, come on

We live in a machine, machine
We live in a machine, machine
We can′t keep up with a machine

Beat ′em up
Beat 'em up
Beat ′em up
