Beats down and dirty, beats in my soul
Sometimes I feel like I'm dancing on gold
Beats got me movin', beats in control
Won't let me down if I'm feelin' low
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody
(Yeah, mm-hmm)
Just try to make the music go
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
He's down and dirty, he's got no wife
He's got an old guitar and that is his life
He's got the rhythm, he's got the jive
And when we touch each others wires, we're on fire
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know we always play each other
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
I don't care what you say I'm gonna play
I don't do what anybody says, 'cause I know
I know what I want out of life
Yeah, sometimes he says 'well, it serves you right'
Instead of sleeping you're out playing all night
But he is my buddy, he understands
He knows the rhythm's got the upper hand
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody
(Oh-oh-oh)
I gotta play it don't you know
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't care what you say I'm gonna play
I don't do what anybody says, 'cause I know
I know what I want out of life
I don't care what you say I'm gonna play
I don't do what anybody says, 'cause I know
I know what I want out of life
And so we get into a royal battle, even in the streets
You know, those electrical wires how they get crossed
Sometimes they explode
So I hit him and he hits the guitar
And we hit the stage, rough and tough
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, yeah
(I want to tell somebody, tell somebody)
Tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody, tell somebody
I wanna, I wanna, hey, hey, hey...
