It's all when the youth and there's soon gonna be a fight - be a fight
It says someone's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
Tear down the walls - Tear down the wall
All those boys, gonna be a big fight
And ... take it outside
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
We're gonna rip off the halls
Tear down the walls
All those boys, gonna be a big fight
And ... take it outside
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head
Somebody's gonna get their head
