Knockin 'Em Down - Icehouse

Well, there’s no way out of Marrickville

For the son of the hard working man

Where the punk who has the muscle

Is the leader of the local gang

Well, there ain’t no time for discussion

And there ain’t no time to waste

You just take him on single handed

You push him, 'til he breaks

He said, «hey, that’s alright

I can take it for one more round

You can give me your best shot, baby

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»

So he grew up wild and reckless

And he grew up quick and mean

'Til an enterprising gentleman

Put his talents in the ring

He said, «boy you’re just a renegade

You got no place left to hide…

I can make you fame and fortune

Maybe champion of the world…»

He said, «hey, that’s alright

I can take it for one more round

You can give me your best shot, baby

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»

He said, «hey, that’s alright

I can stand here and hold my ground

You can give me your best shot, baby

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»

Well, there’s blood on the canvas and leather

And he learned his lesson well

But the boy keeps swingin' those punches

'Til he hears that final bell

He said, «hey, that’s alright

I can take it for one more round

You can give me your best shot, baby

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»

He said, «hey, that’s alright

I can stand here and hold my ground

You can give me your best shot, baby

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»

He said, «hey, that’s alright

You can give me your best shot, baby

But they boy, hey

But the boy keeps knockin 'em down…»
