This life is a numbers game,
The rich the ive, the poor get blamed
The rich are happy , and they're mean,
the poor - just obscene...

Nice girl with a heart of gold
A little naive, a little bold
Knocked' up tossed' out and abondoned,
Now she's living on random
You gotta beat em

You know they're cheatin' anyhow
She got beat up

you know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat beat beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em up
...
Mom and dad worked and saved,
Good and honest everyday
For they're sweat , what did they get?
An old age home and a medical debt
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
They got beat up
They got beat up
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat beat beat em up
I gotta beat em
Beat beat beat em up
...
Come on'

We live in a machine, machine,
We live in a machine, machine,
We can't keep up with a machine
You gotta beat em

You know they're cheatin' anyhow

Beat 'em Up
Iggy Pop's "Beat 'em Up" stands as a quintessential example of his raw, punk-infused rock energy, characterized by his signature screeching vocals and driving rhythm. Released in 2001, the track exemplifies the artist's ability to blend aggressive performance with melodic hooks, a hallmark of his career spanning decades. The song captures the chaotic spirit of the genre, relying on sheer intensity and Pop's theatrical delivery to create an unforgettable listening experience. It remains a staple in his discography, reflecting his enduring influence on alternative rock and his commitment to high-octane, unapologetic musical expression.
