If You Can't Beat Them

Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely
Don't let them get you down
Ain't no use in you sitting all alone
Hanging around for someone to call
Ooh they won't come knockin' at all
Don't run and hide, even if it hurts you inside
So I said, give as good as you get- yeah

If you can't beat them, join'em
You've got to do it 'coz it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them, join'em
You're never gonna help yourself

Yeah, come on, go, get up, hey, sure feelin' good

Keep your fingers off my money
Don't try and pull me down
You're taking me out to wine and dine me
Trying to wind me round and around
Invite me to your little contract- ha ha
Rumour has it that you could play dirty
I'll tell you what I'll do about that and that- oh yeah
I'm playing them at their own game- yeah!

If you can't beat them, join'em
You've got to do it 'coz it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them, join'em
You're never gonna help yourself

Yeah, that's good, playing dirty

If you can't beat them, join'em
Oh, you've got to do it 'coz it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them, join'em
It's everyone for themselves

Move on out, hey, hey, all right, that rock'n'roll
Hey whooh hoo

Piesa vibreaza de dinamismul si voia buna care strabate, de altfel tot albumul, dezvoltand vechiul proverb "if you can't beat them, join'em", intr-un indemn spre savurarea din plin a bucuriei de a trai. Nu lasa pe nimeni sa te intristeze ("don't let them get you down"), nu lasa sa-ti pierzi fericirea, nu fugi de suferinta ("don't run and hide, even it hurts you inside"), nu lasa sa te insele nimeni ("rumour has it that you could play dirty"), ci dejoaca-le singur planurile ("I'm playing them at their own game") si, daca nu poti sa-i invingi..."join'em!". Si motivul: "you've got to do it, 'coz it makes you feel good" si pentru ca, singur, "you're never gonna help yourself"!
