[Verse 1]
Well, in the heat of the night
You went and blackened my eyes
Oh, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
And I'm comin' your way
Well, now I'm supercharged
Might just explode in your face
Oh, I'm black, I'm black, I'm black
And I'm primed for hate

[Chorus]
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, it's a TKO! The blade is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)

[Verse 2]
On a star-spangled fight
I heard a steel-belted scream
Oh, I'm black, I'm black, I'm black
Another sidewalk's bloody dream
I heard sirens whine
My blood turned to freeze
You'll see the red in my eyes
You're gonna take my disease
[Chorus]
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, it's a TKO! The blade is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Well, it's a one-round fight! His blood is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)

[Outro]
(Knock 'em, knock 'em, knock 'em)
Knock
Dead, kid
