[Die Toten Hosen - Getting Beaten Up lyrics]
So we all went down to the esplanade
Where the lager tastes like lemonade
All the boys were dressed up fine
All the girls were dancing in line
I get the news that someone wants to smack me in the head
My lips they to quiver and I wish that I was dead
But I couldn't go home 'cos it wouldn't be right
'Cos even if you lose you've got to stay and fight
I make a few discreet inquiries at the bar
They say just watch out for the smarty with the scar
It's mind over matter Laurie Henderson don't mind
What is mind it doesn't matter, what is matter, never mind
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Well I got so drunk that I fell off the bar
So Laurie offered me a lift home in his car
Trouble started in the pub car park
Boots and braces in the dark
Laurie Henderson vanished without trace
And they did the skinhead moon-stomp on my face
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
Where the lager tastes like lemonade
All the boys were dressed up fine
All the girls were dancing in line
I get the news that someone wants to smack me in the head
My lips they to quiver and I wish that I was dead
But I couldn't go home 'cos it wouldn't be right
'Cos even if you lose you've got to stay and fight
I make a few discreet inquiries at the bar
They say just watch out for the smarty with the scar
It's mind over matter Laurie Henderson don't mind
What is mind it doesn't matter, what is matter, never mind
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Well I got so drunk that I fell off the bar
So Laurie offered me a lift home in his car
Trouble started in the pub car park
Boots and braces in the dark
Laurie Henderson vanished without trace
And they did the skinhead moon-stomp on my face
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of growing up, it's part of growing up
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up
It's part of life
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
Getting beaten up
