Assault & Batteries Lyrics
Breaking news alert
A deadly shootout at a local toy store has left one police officer wounded
And a wanted serial killer dead
We're back
Our next guest claims her son's doll is possessed by the spirit of a dead mass mur—
[Intro: Spencer Charnas]
I'll be watching over you and every move you make
I may be made of plastic, but I'm wide awake
I'll be right by your side until the day you die
Your friend until the end, I'm your Good Guy
Hey, Andy
It's time to play, motherfucker
[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas]
Through a child's eyes, you'll find it's hard to refuse
A friendly freckled face (Oh, honey, isn't he cute?)
But little do they know, little do they see
(Play time is over) It's a killing spree, bitch
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Dan Sugarman, Ricky Armellino & Joe Occhiuti]
(Na-na-na boo-boo, he's gonna get you)
E-V-I-L D-O-L-L
(Na-na-na boo-boo, violence and voodoo)
You won't ever grow up, you won't make it past six
'Cause this two-foot tall demonic doll will make you his bitch
You won't ever grow up, he'll toy with you 'til you die
To prove that evil comes in every size
[Post-Chorus]
(Mommy, mommy, my doll is alive)
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas]
One child holds the truth, but he's labeled a liar
(One doll dismembered them all) With no assembly required
They won't know what to say, they won't know what to do
'Cause the carnage continues at a store near you
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Dan Sugarman, Ricky Armellino & Joe Occhiuti]
(Na-na-na boo-boo, he's gonna get you)
E-V-I-L D-O-L-L
(Na-na-na boo-boo, violence and voodoo)
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
You won't ever grow up, you won't make it past six
'Cause this two-foot tall demonic doll will make you his bitch
You won't ever grow up, he'll toy with you 'til you die
To prove that evil comes in every size (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
And once he's planted his seed
You'll know your life's been uprooted
'Cause safety's not guaranteed
Assault and batteries included (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Stitched back together it seems
By the evil bride of his dreams
(Heaven help you) If you hear him scream
Ade Due Damballa
(Attention shoppers, one soul left in stock)
Ade Due Damballa
A new kid on the chopping block
[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas]
Yeah
Hidey-ho, bitch
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
You won't ever grow up, you won't make it past six
'Cause this two-foot tall demonic doll will make you his bitch
You won't ever grow up, he'll toy with you 'til you die
To prove that evil comes in every size (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
You won't ever grow up, you won't make it past six
'Cause this two-foot tall demonic doll will make you his bitch
You won't ever grow up, he'll toy with you 'til you die
To prove that evil comes (Evil comes), evil comes
In every size
(Na-na-na boo-boo) Fuck you
About
“Assault & Batteries” is a metal-core track that is based on the acclaimed 1988 film, Child’s Play. “Assault & Batteries” serves as the second single for Ice Nine Kills' sixth studio album, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. The song’s theme correlates with the band’s motif—horror-movie inspired music.
Riddled with references to the film, a majority of the song’s plotline hints at the infamous scene in the film when the main character’s mother comes to learn that her demonic child’s toy doesn’t require batteries.
The title of the track is also a play on words to the well-established legal phrase “Assault and Battery”. Although the two words can count as separate charges, they are commonly used together when there is a legal battle relating to physical violence. The word “battery” is a synonym for attack.
