Knock 'em Dead, Kid Lyrics

In the heat of the night
You went and blackened my eyes
Well now I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
And I'm coming your way
Well now I'm supercharged
Might just explode in your face
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
And I'm primed for hate

Chorus:
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
The blade is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
Knock 'em dead, kid
Knock 'em dead

A star spangled fight
Heard a steel-belted scream
Now I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
Another sidewalk's bloody dream
I heard the sirens whine
My blood turned to freeze
You'll see the red in my eyes
As you take my disease

Chorus:

Solo:

Chorus
Knock 'em knock 'em knock 'em
Dead................ (scream)
Knock 'em dead, kid

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about the night Nikki got into a fight with some bikers, and in the process mistakenly hit a cop and they beat him pretty bad.
