about

From the Artist:
"Knockout is a song about an all out victory and the need to prepare ourselves for battle against an opponent that is pure muscle. Like a boxer does building him or herself up on the way to the ring, we must uncover the hidden weaknesses in the opponent and hit them there, relentlessly until they fall. In this song the abusers have been identified and the masses, who can no longer contain their disdain have revolted and now the fates are sealed for these abusers. No matter what happens to us on the way we stand tall and relentlessly persevere until our last breath.

In the video, the obvious boxing metaphor is used and Amy Gordon shows a variety of bouts to depict the cruelty, the absurdity, and the David and Goliath struggle on both sides. Juxtaposing this with street protests ties together the meaning behind the song."

lyrics

KNOCKOUT

We’re gonna bust the noose get a grip and get loose
We’re gonna live till we fall we aint ever gonna crawl
Gonna write that shit on the walls

We’re gonna stand and shout we got ‘em figured out
We’ve seen these crimes before time for them to feel the floor
Oh yeah gonna put their ass against the wall

There’s gonna be a knockout there’s gonna be a knockout

Knockout Knockout

We’re gonna be self made men maybe snap now and then
Call ‘em out through the scars piss back at them through the bars
Rat ‘em out like the Wizard of Oz

Turn on the lights cause this ain’t no movie

There’s gonna be a knockout there’s gonna be a knockout

Knockout Knockout Knockout Knockout

You can save it for tomorrow but we’re gonna be living everyday
