The Beat

[Verse 1] We're all going on a summer holiday Vigilantes coming out to follow me Heard somebody say they're out to collar me Anybody want to swallow me? [Pre-Chorus] It takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango Speak up, don't mumble if you're in the combo [Chorus] On the beat (On the beat) On the beat (On the beat) 'Til the man comes along and says "Have you been a good boy Never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy Such a pleasure to employ" [Post-Chorus] See your friends in the state they're in See your friends getting under their skin See your friends getting taken in [Verse 2] Well, if you only knew the things you do to me I'd do anything to confuse the enemy There's only one thing wrong with you befriendin' me Take it easy, I think you're bendin' me [Pre-Chorus] I've been a bad boy with the standard leader My neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva [Chorus] On the beat (On the beat) On the upbeat (On the beat) 'Til the man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy Never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy Such a pleasure to employ" [Post-Chorus] See your friends walking down the street See your friends never quite complete See your friends getting under their feet [Bridge] Oh, I don't want to disease you But I'm no good with machinery Oh, I don't want to freeze you Stop looking at the scenery I keep thinking about your mother Oh, I don't want to lick them I don't want to be a lover I just want to be your victim I don't go out much at night I don't go out much at all Did you think you were the only one Who was waiting for a call? [Chorus] On the beat (on the beat) On the beat (on the beat) On the upbeat (on the beat) 'Til the man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy Never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy Such a pleasure to employ." [Post-Chorus] See your friends treat me like a stranger See your friends despite all the arrangements See your friends, nothing here has changed [Outro] Just the beat (just the beat) Just the beat (just the beat) Just the beat (just the beat) Just the beat
