Knock 'Em Dead, Kid

Mötley Crüe · Live: Entertainment Or Death [2009]

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 black

I'm black

I'm black

And I'm primed with hate



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)



A star-spangled fight

Heard a steel-belted scream

Now I'm back

I'm back

I'm back

Another sidewalks bloody dream

I heard the sirens whine

My blood turned to freeze

You'll see the red in my eyes

Your gonna take my disease



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)



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)



Knock 'em

knock 'em

knock 'em

Dead...(scream)

Dead kid
