Icehouse - Knockin' 'Em Down lyrics

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..."
