Michael Jackson - Beat it. Lyrics Analysis.

[1st Verse]
They Told Him Don't You Ever Come Around Here
Don't Wanna See Your Face, You Better Disappear
The Fire's In Their Eyes And Their Words Are Really Clear
So Beat It, Just Beat It

[2nd Verse]
You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can
Don't Wanna See No Blood, Don't Be A Macho Man
You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

[Chorus]
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It, Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It,Just Beat It, Beat It

[3rd Verse]
They're Out To Get You, Better Leave While You Can
Don't Wanna Be A Boy, You Wanna Be A Man
You Wanna Stay Alive, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It, Just Beat It

[4th Verse]
You Have To Show Them That You're Really Not Scared
You're Playin' With Your Life, This Ain't No Truth Or Dare
They'll Kick You, Then They Beat You,
Then They'll Tell You It's Fair
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

[Chorus]
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right


The words which I have highlighted above, are the lines which we mainly focused on whilst deciding on how to do our narrative, we ended up decided to do a chase scene.

'don't ever come around here'
'you better dissapear'
'You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can'
'Better Leave While You Can'
- these all relate to being chased by someone or trying to get away.


'That You're Really Not Scared'
'They'll Kick You, Then They Beat You,' - these both relate to being caught and punished for what you have done wrong.

'No One Wants To Be Defeated' - then the we though that he could end up being caught then get away and feel like he has won.
