The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
No digas que no
No estás de espera en ninguna estación
Andar de aquí para allá
Calle mojada, cara sin nombre
Los humillados, los desheredados
Viven mejor después de muertos
Por eso, la sombra del cuervo
Llama a su puerta con un solo dedo
Aquel tipo raro defiende el miedo
Así son las reglas del juego
Cuando está perdido el reto
Puedes darte cuenta que nunca
Se hare viejo ni cambia de cerebro
Nadie evita la paliza por salir corriendo
Puedes pensar que es mentira, todo ocurre lejos
Nadie evita la paliza por salir corriendo
Puedes pensar que es mentira
Una suela de zapato
Es lo que hay un poco más abajo
why no te hare falta nada más
Nadie evita la paliza por salir corriendo
Puedes pensar que es mentira
Despiértate.
