I didn't ever quite get what Michael wanted to say with the lyrics
"I'm tired of this devil... I'm tired of this stuff..." and so on until "girl when the going gets mean".
I mean sure, I can imagine what he might mean and I love when Michael gets angry :yes: (in his songs).
But is it just metaphorical, is it just in a common sense... or does he mean something specific? Does he mean the "devil" in all of us... or does he mean racism (the following rap verse might indicate that)?
And why does he say "girl when the going gets mean". Is it just because he's talking to a girl... or does it have to do with her?
