American singer (1953- )
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
PAT BENATAR
"Hit Me With Your Best Shot"
It's all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swing
PAT BENATAR
"Hell is for Children"
It's a little too little
It's a little too late
I'm a little too hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a little too little
It's a little too late
PAT BENATAR
"Little Too Late"
Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite
PAT BENATAR
"All Fired Up"
I can't stand what people do to each other. I think we're brilliant as a species. I think we are amazing. I think that God is incredible, that He just gave us everything. Everything in our face. Everything for us to use. And sometimes we're such shitheads. And it makes me crazy.

It's always the same thing: People are always out there doing really good work, both young bands who never get heard for one reason or another, and older bands that aren't getting played because maybe they're not current. And it's always wrong. It's wrong on all levels, so I don't know what you do about it. It is what it is.
