Knockout Game

Shay would punch me on the arm whenever

he spotted a Volkswagen Beetle

That was the rule of the punch buggy game

And I’d punch Shay back really hard because

Umi always said, Somebody hit you, you hit ’em back

That was the rule of that game

So I turned down the plea deal

and pleaded not guilty

Because Clyde said it was self-defense

Jeremy Mathis’s mother must’ve

told him the same thing

Somebody hit you, you hit ’em back

Because I threw the first punch
