If You Can't Beat 'em Lyrics

Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely
Don't let them get you down
Ain't no use in sitting all alone
Hangin' around for someone to call
Ohh they won't come knocking at all
Don't run and hide even if it hurts you inside
So I said give as good as you get

If you can't beat them join them
You better do it 'cos it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
You're never gonna help yourself

Keep your fingers off my money
Don't try and pull me down
You're taking me out to wine and dine me
Trying to wind me round and around
Invite me to your little contract Ha! Ha!
Rumour has it that you could play dirty
I tell you what I'll do about that
I'm playing at the wrong game yeah!

If you can't beat them join them
You've got to do it 'cos it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
You're never gonna help yourself

If you can't beat them join them
You've got to do it 'cos it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
It's everyone for themselves

It's definitively my song, but if I think it again, I realize that I say that about a lot of Queen's songs.

Well, at least they are definitively my band... lol

This song contains some of Brian May's best guitar work

Not one of my faves, I confess. It's still good though and it does grow on me. I don't know if this puts a view against conformity or for conformity (the latter of course in an ironic, sarcastic sense.) Anyone else have a view on it?
