Keep on knockin', keep it up, knock boots
Keep knockin', keep it up until the end, now
White trash, celebrities, talking heads and tabloid sleaze
War reports and violent crime, hideous news almost all the time
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They dumb it down until it's all the same
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They stir the pot until everything's insane
What did they just say?
Wait! Don't tell me! Time to start knockin'!
Oh yeah
Keep knocking
Keep it up-up-up-up
The goons talk, the creeps arrive
The suits laugh as they rob you blind
Bigger Ballers and self-appointed cops
In attack dog mode, they just won't stop
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Keep knockin', keep it up until the end, now
White trash, celebrities, talking heads and tabloid sleaze
War reports and violent crime, hideous news almost all the time
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They dumb it down until it's all the same
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They stir the pot until everything's insane
What did they just say?
Wait! Don't tell me! Time to start knockin'!
Oh yeah
Keep knocking
Keep it up-up-up-up
The goons talk, the creeps arrive

You never know when they're gonna pull the plug

Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up now

Essentially it's about how following the herd blindly can get you into a bad situation, not unlike we have right now. Also hearing nothing but bad news all the time can lead to depression and misery, and one should fight for good things.
