Veni Vidi Vicious
The Hives - Declare Guerre Nucléaire
Had an atomic bore -- in 2004
Did some atomic trick -- in 2006
I got out way late -- in 2008
I'm gonna do it again -- in 2010
Uh! Ah!
Had an atomic bore -- in 2004
Did some atomic trick -- in 2006
Got out way late -- in 2008
I'm gonna do it again -- in 2010
And for 5, 7
9 & 11
The guess is yours
Oh yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Hey! I've got a message and tonight I'm gonna send it
Yeah! I had a body, men with knives wanted to lend it
Sold my body to the company so
I got the money now away I go
Thank you Mr. C.E.O.
Hey! I've got some money and tonight I'm gonna spend it
Yeah! They gave me a paper and I went ahead and penned it
And I say thank you Mr. C.E.O.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -- Die!
Just found the backdoor out of teenage hell -- All right!
Filled my account cos I might in fact -- Die!
Rely on science, yeah! to bring me back -- All right!
IIIIII'm gonna diiiiiie
Heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I wanna die all right!
Hey! I lost the money seems like I can't comprehend it
Yeah! I got a hole in my head gotta gotta mend it
Too messed up to sit & settle down
Too messed up to even mess around
That's why your smiling Mr. C.E.O.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -- Die!
Just found the backdoor out of teenage hell -- All right!
Filled my account cos I might in fact -- Die!
Rely on science, yeah! to bring me back -- All right!
IIIIII'm gonna diiiiiie
But not right now
Yeah! Why don't you do the same
I got the money now I can't complain
Except the tics won't go away
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!
And the way I feel tonight
Is gonna make me die all right
I filled my pockets now I might as well -- Die!
Just found the backdoor out of teenage hell -- All right!
Filled my account cos I might in fact -- Die!
Rely on science, yeah! to bring me back -- All right!
IIIIII'm gonna diiiiiie
Heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I wanna die all right!
A Get Together To Tear It Apart
I had a tension. I had a ten
I was better honey so I did it again
Thought my intentions were better
Tried to put mind over matter
I lost my edge on things when I lost my head
Hey! that's what they say
Don't you know they ain't never gonna help you anyway
And it's a -- get together to tear it apart
Gave my middle finger a brand new start
I got a greeting can't say what it's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry out
I got attention. I had a pen
I made history honey and got "Please do it again"
No chance I'm gonna do it again
Cos if you missed it the first time, then it's nine to ten
That you will again and then we're back at the end, back at the end all over again
And say hey! -- Hey! -- That's what they say
Don't you know thay ain't never gonna, but I feel O.K.
And it's a -- get together to tear it apart
Gave my middle finger a brand new start
I got a greeting can't say what it's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry out
Get together to tear it apart
Gave my middle finger a brand new start
I got a greeting can't say what it's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry out
I'm on my way
Can't settle down
Stuck in ways of being an ass
And I got a lot of nerve that I'm ready to pass
I'm on my way
Can't settle down
I'm stuck in ways of sadistic joy
My talent only goes as far as to annoy
I'm on my way
This is my main offender
This is what I've got and it
Got me saying: "Why me?"
I'm on my way
I get around
Not all too sure about what I do
Feel I gotta stop a second just to think it through
And so I stop!
I'm on my way
Yeah! I get around
I thought it all over and now I spit it out
When I spit I spit on those that I care less about
I'm on my way
This is my main offender
This is what I've got and it
Got me saying: "Why me?"
I'm on my way
Outsmarted
I use to be the kid who always got caught
I used to be the one who never let thought
Interact one bit with
Intellectual shit
Diversity & wit
You used to be the kid who waited in line
For an oportunity to waste away time
Trying to be so cool
But no suspicion, no clue
You've been -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
Now I'm the kid who put the shit back in place
And I'm the one who threw it back in your face
It took a little bit
Of intellectual shit
Diversity & wit
Now you're the kid who put the "L" back in lame
And you're the one who always fitted the frame
???
No suspicion, no clue
You've been -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap, suprise -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
You're outsmarted -- Yeah!
That's what I said -- Yeah!
Yeah! -- Yeah!
I'm the one throwing back what you've been putting in my face
You've been -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap, suprise -- Outsmarted
I'm sellin' you for scrap -- Outsmarted

Scrap
Do what I want cos I can and if I don't, because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff & the bored, because I'm gonna
Spit & retrieve cos I give & receive, because I wanna
Gonna get through your head, what the mystery man said, because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so -- All right! Come!

Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot, because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait, because I wanna
No need two, three, too late, because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so -- All right! Come!

Yeah!

Sound device & lots of ice, I'll spell my name out loud, because I wanna
Oh yeah!
The Hives - Introducing The Metric System In Time
Been trying for all my life but I can't add up your subtraction
Work, eat, play, then go to sleep, that won't get me no satisfaction
Gotta find a way out, yeah! a way out of this mess
So sick of tryin' to make my time last and ending up with less
I know your way of doing things and it lost it's attraction
Why settle for twenty-four when I can have a hundred fractions
Who knew I'd be the one pulling off the perfect crime
So here's my new line, I'll change your mind and the metric system to time
Caused trouble all over town and it's bound to start a reaction
Metric time will come around it's gonna overtake your contraction
I've found a way out, yeah! a way out of this stress
I made my time last and it's total success
Got my way of doing things and it's bound to gain your attraction
A hundred dours is my supply, it's gonna give us all satisfaction
No doubt I'd be the one pulling of the perfect crime
So here's my new line, I'll change my mind and the metric system to time
Find yourself another girl
Who will love you too, too, too
Find yourself another girl
Who'd save her love & kisses just for you
Save her love & kisses just for you
The very first time I feel in love
Got my heart broken, then
People would say when I pass their way
There's a hot young man going there, going there
An unhappy lad going there
Well, one day my mother called me to her side
Said, son why are you so blue?
Mother, I lost a girl I love
Why won't you tell me what to do
Mother, won't you tell me what to do
Well she said:
Find yourself another girl
Who will love you too, too, too
Find yourself another girl
Who'd save her love & kisses just for you
Save her love & kisses just for you
I can imagine how you feel my son
But, throw it out of your mind
I'm gonna tell you kinda truthfully
True love is hard to find sometime
It's kinda hard to find
But forget about that girl that broke your heart
And try and start a new
For if there was a guy for her
There's got to be a girl somewhere for you
Got to be a girl somewhere for you
You just go on and
Find yourself another girl
Who will love you too, too, too
Find yourself another girl
Who'd save her love & kisses just for you
Save all her love for nobody but you
Uh! Uh! Uh! Another love!
Uh! Uh! Uh! Another love!
Uh! Uh! Uh! Another love!
Who'd save her love & kisses just for you
Save all her love
For nobody but you
I've been around the world I take credit for the things I've done
I've done a lot of things and I just turned twenty-one
They tied me up put, red tape around my hands
I got caught in the web cos I didn't stand a chance
I can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line & repeat it again
Can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line & repeat it again
I said "Please Mr. Doctor" won't you cure my disease
I got a sore throat and I got scrubs on my knees
No matter what I do I can't get it straight
I tried to sort things out but I'm still stuck in the state
I can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line and repeat it again
Can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line repeat again
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
And if that don't do it I don't know what will
I'm gonna lie I'm gonna cheat
I'm gonna follow their lead then skip a beat.
I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna cheat
Can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line and repeat it again
Can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line and repeat it again
Can't control the state I'm in -- Go back in line and repeat it again
Can't control the state I'm in
Do you know the secret hand shake, you best use it
Here they come with ringing ears, social misfits
Someone has got to go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key
Check the time T minus 5, and you're still looking
Too good to be true, so what's your secret
Someone has got to go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key
Someone has got to go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key
This time you got it all figured out
Think it's gonna work O.K
But I'll make sure it won't
Cos I'll be standing in your way
So wait a minute if you will.
I ain't got no time but time to kill
When the ground starts getting hot
It doesn't matter if you run or not
This time you've seen it done before
This time you're gonna get it right
Once more you fail miserably and then,
Then you do it all over again.
Wait a minute if you will
I ain't got no time but time to kill
When the ground starts getting hot
It doesn't matter if you run or not
You're once a failure and twice a fool
I will -- Knock, knock
If you won't -- Knock, knock
You're damned -- Knock, knock
If you don't -- Knock, knock
You did fine -- Knock, knock
Now you're mine -- Knock, knock
You avoided everything except for me
I'm busting in
Won't pick the lock
I'm busting in -- Knock, knock
I've seen your sort before
You are nothing new cos my name is failure
And failure is gonna come to you
Save me lord and I will
This time I got the time to kill
When the ground starts getting hot
It doesn't matter if you run or not
You're once a failure and twice a fool
I will -- Knock, knock
If you won't -- Knock, knock
You're damned -- Knock, knock
If you don't -- Knock, knock
You did fine -- Knock, knock
Now you're mine -- Knock, knock
You avoided everything except for me
I'm busting in
Won't pick the lock
I'm busting in -- Knock, knock
Knock, knock, I'm busting in, knock, knock
Knock, knock, I'm busting in, knock, knock
My boss he's a probable bore
Put me hands & knees on scrubable floor
Do it right, receive the lions share bliss
Know all too well just where that ration is
Learned a lot about the company doe
Learned less about receiving it, though
Saw how it came to those who always sat pretty
Don't need it
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
My girl had a probable cause
Or so she said and took a probable pause
I was dumped for occupying her time
I asked her why and what was next in line
She said: "Shiny hair that's my life ambition
But I'll devote my time to a new omission
The rizzle-razzle kitsch of paranoid city."
Don't need it
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Supply & demand
Su-su-supply & demand
Supply & demand
