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 for hate      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 black, I'm black, I'm black   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      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)      Knock 'em, knock 'em   Knock 'em dead   Knock 'em dead, kid
