The short film to Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” his best-selling single in the United Kingdom, earned Michael the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards. The urgent need to address the issues facing the planet and all that inhabit it were on the forefront of Michael’s mind when he created this song and short film; issues that are even more urgent today.

Chorus:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin how funky and strong is your fight
It doesnt matter whos wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it, uh)
For the first of nine short films for the “Bad” album, Michael Jackson enlists acclaimed filmmaker and director Martin Scorsese and together they create an epic 18-minute tale of urban and racial challenges in the 1980s inspired by the real life story of Edmund Perry. The «Bad» recording is the second of five consecutive No.1 singles from the album making Michael the first artist to achieve this milestone and in 2014 Rolling Stone ranked this short film second on a list of Michaels 20 greatest short films.
Chorus:
Because Im bad, Im bad come on
You know Im bad, Im bad come on, you know
You know Im bad, Im bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Whos bad
Chorus:
It seems you dont know, we reached the higher mountain
Every time I seem to disappear
And together we will fly, well dance up in the heavens
I can really feel it when youre near, ooh
Lyrics
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
Theres no comfort in the truth
Pain is all youll find
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe its better this way
Wed hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now whos gonna dance with me
Please stay
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
