The Hives Album

Ah no what's wrong with me,
I got no vision see.
I was the target of a notion of submission see.
Oh yeah they needed me, I was the target see.
They tried to stick a dead body inside of me.
I Need no, Need no alibi.
Honestly I tell no lies,
Wanted to stick an office worker inside of me.
But I kept breaking free, they could no capture me.
I pulled maneuvers that were closer to savage see,
Bad, bad!
They tried to stick a dead body inside of me,
Bad bad!
Come again I tell no lies,
So now you understand I was a wanted man
The opposition and the bug of a shiny hand,
But ah no this I see, there's nothing wrong with me.
There's no deadbeat regime rider inside of me
I Need no, Need no alibi.
Honestly, I tell no lies.
Tried to stick an office worker inside of me.
I Need no, need no alibi.
Honestly, I tell no lies.
Wanted nothing stuck inside of me
Bad bad, They tried to stick a dead body inside of me.

It's official, Full Judicial.
Ends in physical, this i know.
Best keep quiet,
You dont listen to me anyway.
Your gonna lose and it's gonna show. Its far to late to avoid so.
Oh what's that sum, it added up to nothing cause your much too dumb.

Two-timing touch and broken bones [x4]

Bad decision, Repition,
Should you listen, or let it go.
Best say something,
When your thinking that you'll get it back.
But, it's too late to avoid it so.
It's far too late and I gotta know
Oh whats that sum, it added up to nothing because you're much too dumb.

Well is it true what they say about it?
They say it's new, but I had to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it, had enough?
I got some people sayin' this way
I got some people sayin' that way
I got some people sayin' there's no way
Ain't it though?

See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
See the robot write up his name on the ballot
They say, this is what I need to get by
The truth is, baby, it's a lie

Well is it true what they say about it?
You oughta do what I do and doubt it
We won and now he's gonna do something about it
Ain't it sad?
And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that's bursting your bubble
And it's bad

Well see the idiot walk
Well see the idiot talk
Well see the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
They say, this is what I need to get by
The truth is, baby, it's a lie
It's a ...
It's a lie-ie-ie-ie-oh-oh-oh-oh

This is what it boils down to

If you review the winning combination
Body at work and a mind on vacation
Who had the brain where it started to sink in?
It was you

You've seen the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
But you never learned nothing
And nothing isn't over
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
Still you never learned nothing
And nothing isn't over
They say, this is all I need to get by
The truth is, baby, it's a lie

So you look for authenticity
But I can see what is bothering me
The kind you want from long way back in time
It's been disposable since '79
I never wanted this to end
Good with transmission but too lazy to send
Not going down no in no history
You're going down because of me
A lot of cause to be alarmed
A solid chance of an incoming harm
Put up with me or I put you away
So I ask what have we learned here today
I never wanted it to stop
So I gave notice and I moved to the top
Your opinion never weighed a ton
And your talking never hurt anyone
And now it's time to see what you got from me
But full understanding can't be guaranteed
You say we had our fill but i move for the kill
I keep on doing it 'till I get everybody everywhere
People are people and they're never scared away
I say
Ten dead but no pun
So you look for authenticity
Only to find what you wanted in me
You had a function long long time ago
Had a function but the thinking was slow
I never wanted this to end
Good with transmission but too lazy to send
Not going down no in no history

You'll never get it right
They got a hundred lies for you
And when they pass them out
You gotta give or take a few
And be just the same
A head in the crowd but behind the game
Oh well you never can tell
Such a clever kid
But I see what's wrong with you
It's all you ever did
Take lies and believe them true (too)
Knew it all along
Another act and a truth gone wrong
Oh no
It ain't my Hollywood
I went on strike when the union said I would
Had a sign in my hand because the times were no good
And all this time all they told me too was to get a little lie to ring a little
true
I went on strike when the union said I should
Had a sign in my hand 'cause the times were no good
And all this time all they ever told me too was to get a little more for your
little you
And maybe you're alright
And maybe I don't have a clue
Yeah maybe black is white
And maybe black is white too
But it's all the same
You don't get the picture you're getting framed
You took the bait and now it's too late
You didn't turn out right
Just look at you
You had the biggest plans
But no way to carry through
It was all an act
And now you can't stick to the facts
Oh no
It ain't my Hollywood
I went on strike when the union said I would
Had a sign in my hand 'cause the times were no good
And all this time all they told me too was to get a little lie to ring a little
true
You spent your time just like they said you should now
Those marks on your face just don't look any good
And all this time all that they told you to was get a little more for your

Hear them saying that a lot is a lot
You think it's all that matters
You've done your math well
You checked the figures
You've done your math tell
Who is the bigger
Man can't explain it but you got a hunch
Well, that's always something
Climb up the ladder
Step up a notch
Climb up the ladder then
See what you got
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus
Real good!
Like a little man should!
Did your homework and you worked the mob
Because it's all you can do
Tried for a lot still you have a little
What happened mister you couldn't figure
Out of the rut you still can't get it right
Can't get a lot for a little?
You keep on trying and you end up in the middle
Had an enigma ended up with a riddle
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus
REAL GOOD
Like a little man SHOULD
Rewind and look at what you got
Had ambition but you lost the plot
Judas Brutus Quisling time has come to do

I know what you're thinking
You got a mind and it's stinking
You know why?
You got a transparent cranium, a see through head
Oh oh oh oh oh
It doesn't mean a thing
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's just a paper ring
Oh oh oh oh oh
It doesn't mean a thing
I got thoughts in my head and i'm ready to sting
Oh oh oh oh oh
And now you come my way
Oh oh oh oh oh
I spot you from a mile away
Oh oh oh oh oh
So now you come my way
I got cutlery, got napkin, saltshaker pepper spray
You got a head
Gets you ahead
You got a head
A see-through head full of..
Oh oh oh oh oh
You thought you had it made
You wanna cut a piece of cake you gotta have a bit of blade
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not so easily lead
Oh oh oh oh oh
You pick up but the line is dead
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not so easily lead
You always end up losing 'cause you got a see-through head
You got a head
Gets you ahead
You got a head
A see-through head full of..
So what's the matter
It's you, yeah you
It's you just you and your see-through head
You got a head
Gets you ahead
A see-through head full of..
You got a head

Alive!
Dead!
I was inside your head!
Had time well spent, I got your mind well bent
Snuck back into shade
Oooooooooooooooooooo
You searched the globe for them perfect looks
And you searched for answers in all your books
And finally by diabolic ascent here I am
Said it's just a diabolic
A diablolic scheme
Diabolic scheme
Said it's just a diabolic
A diabolic scheme
Diabolic scheme
That's me all right, like purity white, and like viciousness black
I give a little then I take it back
Can you take it?
Ooooooooooooooooo can you take it?
Yeah!!
Oooooooooo
So what's the attraction?
The suckers sing
Prolific depth or static cling?
Well from greatness to greatness is where I span
You have me for a moment grab on while you can
Said it's just a diabolic
A diabolic scheme
Diabolic scheme
Said it's just a diabolic
A diabolic scheme
Diabolic scheme
Oooo, oooo, oooooooo oo ooo
Oooo, oooo, oooooooo oo ooo

If you give up and follow every whim
Loose your mind before it could even begin
Missing link it might be what you got so won't you give it a shot
So you do it all the same and you do it all again
You wake up in the morning and you ain't got a friend
Your boss is coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then
Back into trouble again
Missing link has got you beaten battered bruised
If you had a problem, now it's two
Missing link he took you down a notch so won't you give it a shot
You're always under pressure
It's harder to be sane when
You wake up and you realize that every day is the same
You can't go back to work and now you know just who to blame, ain't it a shame
Back into trouble again
Missing link I know you tried to cut him loose
But missing link is still a part of you
Think you lost him but it ain't exactly showing
Got you by the neck and now there ain't no way of knowing
Pretend you got a will but you know just where it's going
Missing link has got you standing on the brink
Left the world to rot and stink
Left the world you pick up the pieces of the puzzle
And now you get a lot of work done but you don't get a cent
You wake up in the morning and do it all again

I really thought that we had something going faster, that love in plaster.
I really thought that we had something growing stronger, but it grew no longer.

I thought this time... yeah.
I really thought that we has something set in motion, more than foul devotion.

I really thought that we had something out of the ordinary, more than
stationary.

I thought this time what we had you and I... said I'm losing my mind, yeah I got
bit all the time, and I'm better off dead, cause it was all in my head.
Now it's all lost and it's gone... don't I know it.

I really thought that we, had something, more than a bore.
I really thought that we had something more than a violation, of my imagination.


I thought this time what we had you and I... said I'm losing my mind, yeah I got
bit all the time, and I'm better off dead, cause it was all in my head.
Now it's all lost and it's gone... don't I know it.
And I'm better off dead.

I really thought it could work out, I learned it couldn't cause somehow, we
couldn't get along, we weren't getting along.
A little something on the side would make you life feel more worthwhile.
You think I won't be long, you couldn't be more wrong.

I thought this time what we had you and I... said I'm losing my mind, yeah I got
bit all the time, and I'm better off dead, cause it was all in my head.
I said I'm losing my mind, yeah I got bit all the time, and I'm better off dead,
cause it was all in my head.
Now it's all lost and it's gone... don't I know it.

Can't make an omelette without breaking an egg
And I can't make a headache if I don't aim at the head
You had enough of their thoughts have your own
Then you wouldn't have to be such a clone
That just won't get you nowhere, you thought it would?
THE DEAD QUOTE OLYMPICS
This time you've really got something it's such a clever idea
But it doesn't mean it's good 'cause you found it at the library
Yes they were smart but they are dead
And you're repeating all that they said
You know it don't make you clever like you thought it would
THE DEAD QUOTE OLYMPICS
It's on!
You won!
I'm done!
You didn't read between the lines so it won't do you any good it's true
And that moment that you live for, it doesn't live for you
When weekends set standard and pace
We are all showered in books and berets

Bitter taste
In your mouth
It's too late to get it out
Everytime
I'm around you
Try to leave but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
Second try
To say goodbye
Kick the habit but
I'll be standing in your way
