[Verse 1: Christian Rosé, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Dave was in the kitchen watching TV getting greedy
Sammy Sosa batting next he had a feeling
He could see the Cubbies going to the series pretty easy
If a God existed in the sky or even in the ceiling
That was when he heard a sound
Made him turn around
Kids next door had their speakers really loud
Turned the TV up so that he could drown 'em out
But the motherfucking guitar, it cut through the town
Couldn't make it quiet—
"Da-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na"
He wanted to make a fire with the speakers
It would be the prettiest
He was sick and tired of these American idiots
Stood up and walked out and knocked on the door
Red in the face when he raised up his voice, said

[Chorus: Christian Rose, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, turn the music
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, turn the music
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Turn the music down, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Turn the music down, down, down, down
[Verse 2: Christian Rosé, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Damn, decisions, decisions
The picture was perfect for new politicians
Dave had a vision for stable conditions
McCain cuts the taxes and Palin can get it (Get it)
Dave was tryna have a graduation to the good life (To the good life)
Deep inside of his imagination, he could book flights
All the way to Maui (Maui), living in the valley (Valley)
Waking up in Vegas
Where the single ladies blame it on the alcohol
He pulled up his overalls
Turned the TV up so Bill O'Reilly finally tell him how to know it all
He couldn't hear it over neighbors shooting basketball
Blasting Weezy music, yelling Kobe
Dave, he couldn't take it, he was going
To have an aneurysm, this was vandalism (Whaa!)
Couldn't stand to listen, was about to leave the house
And empty out his ammunition (Ooh)
Woo, stood up and walked out the door
Said, "Shut up or you'll be destroyed!"
Red in the face as he raised up his voice

[Chorus: Christian Rose, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, turn the music
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Knock, turn the music
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Turn the music down, turn the music down
Knock, knock, knock, knock, turn the music down
Turn the music down, down, down, down
[Verse 3: Christian Rosé, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Jumped on a jet and he said bye-bye (Bye-bye)
To the kids and the stress, new address, my, my (My, my)
Ooh, Dave got a new job at the college
Red bone assistant, copper neck like Colin
Yeah, the homie worked hard for the job (Worked hard)
And the student protests were just part of the job (Just part)
Wasn't hard for the man in the throne to decide
Send a kid to the Feds if he hold up a sign
Said, "Besides, why you gotta holler on the campus
President invest a million dollars on the campus
We don't want no problems with the Donald on the campus
We don't need no freaks, don't need no Giannis on the—
Is that a kick drum? I'm about to kick something
Didn't come to work to hear the ceiling make the kids jump
Stand up (Drank), walk out (Bye-bye)
Run up (Run up), yell out (Aah!)
Shut the hell up with the awful music
I don't want Juice, rather drink the sewage
Get the hell out, I am with a student
You're a thorn in the side of the institution
You're a thorn in the side of the institution
Thorn in the side of the institution
You're a thorn in the side of the institution
You're a thorn in the side of the institution"
[Breakdown: Christian Rose]
Turn the music down
Turn the music down
Turn the music down
(Turn the music down)

[Outro: Christian Rose]
Knock, knock
Knock, knock
