Sometimes in your life you feel you have to change things because you want to live a desired future, your own future. At that moment is great to act and not just think about it. If you start working for what you desire and you are persistent to it you will get what you want.
Michael realised it when he was a teenager and he keept on dreaming to get on top of his field.
He explains in “Moonwalk”
There was a lot of uncertainty an excitement about our future. We were going throught a lot of creative and personal changes -our music, the family dyynamics, our desires and goals. All of this made me think more seriously about how I was spending my life, specially in relation to other people my age. I had always shouldered a lot of responsability but it suddenly seemed that everyone wanted a pice of me.
“That’s What You Get for Being Polite” was my way on letting on that I knew I wasn’t living in an ivory tower and that I had insecurities and doubts just as all older teenagers do. I was worried that the world and all it had to offer could be passing me by even as I tried to get on to of my field.
That’s What You Get (For Being Polite) Lyrics.
Jack still cries day and night.
Jack’s not happy with his life.
He wanna do this. He wanna do that.
He wanna be kind but it’s a fact for love.
For loveHe tries so hard to get a lot.
He wants to be what he is not.
He doesn’t act harsh. He doesn’t act bad.
But what she’s doin’ for love is so sad.
(He wants to be so bad. He wants to be so bad.)
All the time getting’ in, things he can’t get out.
Something deep inside of him,
Eatin’ up the pride of him,
That makes him have things for other girls.
(That’s what you get for being polite.)
(For being polite.)Jack still sits all alone.
He is the world that is his own.
He’s lost in thought. Could it be.
I wish for once that he could see. Just look.
Give him love.He tries so hard to get a lot.
He wants to be what he is…
