So you wonder how
Get them up, put them up
Get your dukes up now
Got no time, no money, that's why
Get them up, put them up
Get your dukes up now
Soda fountain proud
Button up, shut them up
Getting fed up now
Got no time, no money, goddamn
Get them up, put them up
Get your dukes up now

    General Comment:for sure it's knock out. Really Rightback? That's the first time you heard someone say that Iron Maiden wrote crappy music? I guess maybe I've just heard myself say it alot. I guess Number of the Beast was decent though, good lyrics at least.

    General Comment:Wow, thats the first time I've ever heard Iron Maiden's music described as crappy. And yes, the guitar riff is very similar, just in a more mellow tone. Either way, both songs are great.

    General Comment:Okay, I use to think it said GODAMN, then someone mentioned it said NARC OUT, so I listened and I thought that what it said, now someone says it's KNOCK OUT so I'm pretty sure that's right now.
