Getting Beaten Up - Die Toten Hosen

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…
