The Hives Album

Do what I want cause I can and if I don't
because I wanna be ignored by the stiff and the bored
because I'm gonna.
Spit and retrieve cause I give and 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.
I do believe I told you so.
Now it's all out and you knew cause I wanted to.
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 and too late - because I'm gonna.
Hate to say I told you so.
I do believe I told you so.
Do what I please gonna spread the disease
because I wanna gonna call all the shots for the "No"s and the "Not"s
because I wanna.
Ask me once I'll answer twice cause what I know I'll tell
because I wanna.
Sound device and lots of ice I'll spell my name out loud

I'm on my way. Can't settle down.
I'm 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
And 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 like I've got to stop a second just to think it through.
And so I stop!

I'm on my way.
Yeah get around.
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.

My boss he's a probable bore.
Put me hands and 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 and 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 and demand.

Hey! I've got a message and tonight and I'm gonna send it.
Yeah! I had a body and men with knives wanted to lend it.
Sold my body to the company
so I got the money now away I go and I say thank you Mr. CEO.
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 CEO.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -
Die! cause I found the backdoor out of teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die....
Heavy morals seem so light but when it comes to cash I'm gonna die all right!
Hey! I lost the money seems like I can't comprehend it.
Yeah! Got a hole in my head gotta gotta mend it.
Too messed up to sit and settle down.
Too messed up to even mess around.
Thats why your smiling Mr CEO.
I filled my pockets now I might as well -
Die! cause I found the backdoor out of teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die.... 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! cause I found the backdoor out of
teenage hell - all right!
Filed my account cause I might in fact - Die!
But I rely on science, yeah to bring me back - all right.
I.....'m gonna die....

We are untutored youth - and heres the proof
Dont wanna know anything we don't and it's the truth
We are untutored youth - and they lost out.
If you can't hear me just start looking at my mouth
We are untutored youth - and so you are
You might not like it but there's nothing you can do
We are untutored youth - don't even try
No use in knowing all the when's and why's

And if I really wanted to learn something
I'd listen to more records and I do, we do, you do so..... COME ON!

We are untutored youth - and that's the truth
When it feels like all you ever do is loose
We are untutored youth - here is the catch
There's nowhere you're gonna be a perfect match
We are untutored youth - we won't fit in
But there is no way in hell they are gonna win
We are untutored youth - and that's it
Not even gloves come witha perfect fit

And when people tell me what is ok and what is not
it should not be an unexpected scene seeing I extend my middle right hand digit
and say:
- eyy, would you like lemon or lime with that piece of advice mister?
COME ON!

We are untutored youth - and heres the proof
Dont wanna know anything we don't and it's the truth
We are untutored youth - and they lost out
If you can't hear me just start looking at my mouth
We are untutored youth - and so you are
You might not like it but there's nothing you can do
We are untutored youth - don't even try
No use in knowing all the when's and why's
We are untutored youth - YOUTH!

I used 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 and wit.
You used to be the kid who waited in line.
For an opportunity to waste away time.
Trying to be so cool but no suspicion no clue.
You've been.
Outsmarted - I'm selling you for scrap.
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 and 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 selling you for scrap.
You're outsmarted - Yeah!
That's what I said - Yeah!
Only throwing back what you've been putting in my face.

Mad man he operated, he opened up went in and separated.
he mad a mess - tried to restore but it was all in vain.
That's what I get when the holding the knife answers to the name.
Mad mad mad.
Mad man he operated, and what I before used to have in mind has now evaporated.
Mad man woke me up and said he'd fixed the leak
but now I can't walk and I believe I stu..stu..stutter when I speak.
Mad mad mad.
I get the feeling that I've been cutdown - cutdown.
Yeah I get the feeling that I've been cutdown - cutdown.
In a sort of scientific way.
Mad man he operated, he opened up went in and separated.
He made a mess - tried to restore but it was all in vain.

A neon light is seen above every average teen.
A sign spelling out a word that none of us has heard.
Fourteen bucks today and I get a new life tomorrow
a new product rejects unhappy moments and sorrow.
I'll take this one and that one and then some more.
I'll use a piece of paper and the almighty pen - here we go again.
A voice inside of me says insufficiency how come it worked out for you?
I better try something new.
Not satisfied just yet - wanna receive and get.

You laugh at me and call me i-d-i-o-t.
You laugh and turn your back cause I'm not like you're supposed to be.
But it's not a question - a question of low iq.
Cause if it was well then the answer wouldn't be me but you.
a.k.a i-d-i-o-t, don't know who the hell
I'm supposed to be i-d-i-o-t a.k.a i-d-i-o-t, yeah thats me i-d-i-o-t.
I put with being laughed at cause I put up with being me.
And then on artificial someone says I'm the i-d-i-o-t.
But I got motivation yeah I pretty much love it all.
To make your artificial nation stumble and fall.
I know that I'm a screw up.
I know I'm in a band.
I know that I am up against a mighty mighty man.
But I'm satisfied with being, being one of the lucky few.

Born only a month ago yet I'm (already) fully grown from head to toe.
Lots of metal, lots of grease and put together piece by piece.
To support a system that uses me....but the day is here and they're gonna see.

I'm on a mission cause now I've had it.
I watch their system and spit right at it.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic
schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
Deprived of mind but yet I know - I'm a metallic man about to blow.
Time to set the record straight.
Time to let out all my hate.
I'm on a mission an metallic man with the intention to expose the plan.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic
schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
I'm on a mission a metallic goof - it takes a man of steal to reveal the truth.

I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic
schmuck.

I took time to think things over - time I didn't want to spare.
Cause someone told me I had things to fix - things I didn't wanna repair.
So I was talked into sitting quietly thinking bout the things I'd done.
Didn't like it so I said wisely oh hell!
Where's my fun?
Hail hail spit n'drool.
I liked the way that things were going don't like the way they're going now.
But I'd like to add there is a thing I can do
gonna tell you what, where and when and how.
