T.K.O. Lyrics

Want more real attention
At my expense guess you forgot to mention
You talk good, I’ll eat glass
I heard you read my mind behind my back

Outside, I’m waiting
By the car when you’re hesitating

Take a good look
Take a photo
Write about it in your tiny notebook

Don’t you know?
You’re out cold
Don’t you know?
It’s our dance-floor

T.K.O.
Hear it on the radio
T.K.O.
Play it on your stereo
T.K.O.
Watch a live video
T.K.O., T.K.O.

Got your money safe
Wanna be "in"
Everyday it just gets closer to you
I’ll say my piece
And when it’s over you’ll be on your knees

I got this soul thing
On the go
Read about it at your Barnes & Noble

Don’t you know?
It’s our dance-floor
T.K.O
Hear it on the radio
T.K.O.
Play it on your stereo
T.K.O.
Watch a live video
T.K.O., T.K.O.

Night is young
And we all know what’s up
The ocean calls us

Away from..

Don’t you know?
It’s our dance-floor
T.K.O
Hear it on the radio
T.K.O.
Play it on your stereo
T.K.O.
Watch a live video
T.K.O., T.K.O.

try Technical Knock Out.. to my understanding (i don't watch boxing), its when one of the boxers isn't actually knocked out, but the ref stops the match becuase he feels the other boxer cannot go on.

T.K.O. also stands out for TOTAL KNOCK OUT. so it could have something to do with that, rather than the company that makes boxing equipment, although both lend themselves to the media violence theory. however, for some reason i don't think that's what it's about.

this is gonna sound really dumb but what does tko mean?

Cover art for T.K.O. lyrics by Le Tigre

TKO is a company that makes boxing equipment.

The video has JD in boxing gloves, one of the lyrics is "You're out cold," the song talks a lot about media (Radio, Stereo, Live Video read it at Barnes and Noble) and the lyric "write about it in your tiny notebook" sounds to me like a reporter's notepad. So I think this song is about violence in the media, yeah?

you play by the books, and we know what's up. we know you're actually just the impersonators, so really it's not even worth pretending.

Awsome song!

Cover art for T.K.O. lyrics by Le Tigre

yes, TKO stands for Technical Knock Out; I actually think this song has a double meaning; the first one is "Look at us we're awesome and listen to our amazing song cause we kick a$$" but I think the second meaning is the same thing but making fun of those people that are actually like that and how the media just overplays EVERYTHING
