Killboy Powerhead
Offspring · Smash
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always busts his knukles
When he's wrenchin' up his shit
He's a killboy powerhead.
Killboy powerhead
Killboy powerhead
Yeah.
You know I saw his woman
She was writin' his name in blood
You know i saw his woman
Hard as a rock
She said she was his baby
Who looked just like the hoover dam
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
He's a killboy powerhead
Killboy powerhead
Killboy powerhead
Yeah.
He's a pistol grip
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always busts his knukles
When he's wrenchin' up his shit
He's a killboy powerhead.
Killboy powerhead
Killboy powerhead
Killboy Powerhead yeah
Killboy Powerhead yeah
Killboy Powerhead yeah
