Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

Kids today-they're all the same
All call themselves-some crazy name
All those drugs-they can't be sane
All that noise-affects their brains

And it's such a crime
How they waste their time
They can't get nowwhere
They've all gone Beat Crazy

Beat Crazy
They say the world-is in a mess
But they can talk-the way they dress
Can't get no jobs-can't get no careers

With safety pins-stuck through their ears
And it's such a crime
How they waste their time
They can't get nowwhere

They've all gone Beat Crazy
Beat Crazy
And if the Russians ever come
They'll all be beating bongo drums

So who'll defend-in World War III
Where could we turn-where would they be
And it's such a crime
How they waste their time

They can't get nowwhere
They've all gone Beat Crazy
Beat Crazy
