The Hives Veni Vidi Vicious Lyrics
1.The Hives - Declare Guerre Nucleaire

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

Had an atomic bore in 2004
Did some atomic tricks in 2006
I got out way late in 2008
I know they'll do it all again in 2010

Had an atomic bore in 2004
Did some atomic tricks in 2006
Got out way late in 2008
I'm gonna do it all again in 2010
And for 5, 7, 9 and 11 the guess is yours

Oh yeah yeah yeah


2.'Die, All Right!'

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

Hey!
I've got a message
And tonight I'm gonna send it
Yea!
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
Thank you Mr. CEO

Hey!
I've got some money
And tonight I'm gonna spend it
Yea!
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 back door out
Of teenage hell
(All right)
Filled my account 'cause I might in fact
(Die)
Rely on science
Yea 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
Yea!
I 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
That's why you're smiling Mr. CEO

Oh, I filled my pockets now I might as well
(Die)
'Cause I found the back door out
Of teenage hell
(All right)
Filled my account 'cause I might in fact
(Die)
Rely on science
Yea to bring me back
(All right)
I'm gonna die
But not right now

Yea!
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 back door out
Of teenage hell
(All right)
Filled my account 'cause I might in fact
(Die)
But I rely on science
Yea 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


3.A Get Together To Tear It Apart

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

I had a tension, I had a ten
I was a better, honey, so I did it again
(Uhh)
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's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry it out

I got attention, I had a pen
I made history, honey, and God please do it again
No chance I'm gonna do it again
'Cuz if you missed the first time
Then it's nine to ten, do it again
And 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 they ain't never gonna, but I feel okay

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's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry it out
(Get together to tear it apart)
Gave my middle finger a brand new start
I got a greeting can't say what's all about
But my middle finger is gonna carry it out


4.Main Offender

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

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
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 gotten in
And it got me sayin'
Why me?

I'm on my way
I get around
Not all too sure about what I do
Feel I've got to stop a second
Just to think it through
That's why I stop

I'm on my way
Yea, get around
Thought it all rollin' and now I spit it out
When I spit, I spit
I'm busted, I care less about
I'm on my way

This is my
Main offender
This is what I've gotten in
You got me sayin'
Why me?
I'm on my way


5.Outsmarted

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

Outsmarted

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
No suspicion, no clue, you've been

Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted

Now I'm the kid who got 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 kid who always fitted the frame, still such a
fool
No suspicion, no clue, you've been

Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, selling you

You're outsmarted, yeah
That's what I said, yeah, yeah, yeah
Only throwing back what you've been putting in the face

Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap
Outsmarted, I'm selling you for scrap


6.Hate to Say I Told You So

Lyricist:Niklas Almqvist

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
Alright, come on

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
Alright, come on

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
â~Cause what I know I'll tell because I wanna
Sound device and lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud because I wanna
Oh yeah


7.The Hives - Introduce the Metric System In Time

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

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, yea
A way out of this mess
So sick of trying to make my time last
An' ending up with less

Know your way of doing things and it
Lost its attraction
Why settle for twenty four
When I can have a hundred fractions?
Who knew I'd be the one
Pulling off that perfect crime?
So here's my new line
I'll change your mind
And the metric system to time

Caused trouble all over the town
An' it's bound to start a reaction
Metric time will come around
It's gonna overtake your contraction
I've found a way out, yea
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
Hundred hours is my supply
It's gonna give us all satisfaction
No doubt I'd be the one
Pulling off the perfect crime
So here's my new line
I'll change from mind
And the metric system to time


8.Find Another Girl

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

Find yourself another girl
Who will love you true true true
Find yourself another girl
Save all her love and kisses just for you
Save all her love and kisses just for you

The very first time I fell in love
Got my heart broken then
People would say when I passed 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 here side, said son, 'Why you so blue?'
'Mother I lost the girl that 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 true true true
Find yourself another girl
Save all her love and kisses just for you
Save all her love and kisses just for you '

I can imagine how you feel my son
But throw it out of your mind
I'm gonna tell kinda truthfully
True love is hard to find sometimes
It's kinda hard to find

But forget about that girl
That broke your heart and try 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 true true true
Find yourself another girl
Save all her love and kisses just for you
Save all her love for no one but you

Ohh another love, ohh another love, ohh another love
Save her love and kisses just for you
Save all her love for no one but you


9.Statecontrol

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

I've been around the world
Take credit for the things I've done
I've done a lot of things
And I just turned, 21
They tied me up
Put red tape around my hands
I got caught in the web
'Cause I didn't stand a chance

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)
(And repeat it again)

I said, 'Please Mr. Doctor
Would 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

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


10.Inspection Wise 1999

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

Do you know the secret hand shake?
You best use it
Here they come with ringin' ears
Social misfits

Someone's gotta go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key

Check the time, T minus five
And you're still lookin'
Too good to be true
So what's your secret?

Someone's gotta go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key

Someone's gotta go
Just thought you should know
And so it had to be
The one who held the key


11.Knock Knock

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

This time you got it all figured it out
Think it's gonna work okay
But I'll make sure it won't
'Cause 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

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

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 from me
I'm bustin' in
Won't pick the lock
I'm bustin' in knock, knock

I've seen your sort before
You are nothing new
'Cause my name is failure
And failure is gonna come to you

Save me, Lord and I will out
This time I got the time to kill
When the ground starts getting hot
It doesn't matter if you run or not

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 bustin' in, won't pick the lock
I'm bustin' in, knock, knock

Knock, knock
I'm bustin' in knock, knock
Knock, knock
I'm bustin' in knock, knock


12.Supply And Demand

Lyricist:Randy Fitzsimmons

My boss, he's a probable bore
Put me hands and knees on scrub able floor
Do it right receive the lions share bliss
Know all too well just where that ration is

Learned a lot about the company dough
Learned less about receiving it though
Saw how it came to those who always sat prett

Don't need it
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand

My girl had a probable cause
Or so she said and took a probable pause
I was dumped for occupyin' 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
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand

Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
S-s-supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand


13.Mad Man

Lyricist:Maria Vidal, Robbie Seidman

Mad man he operated, he opened up, went in and separated
He made a mess, tried to restore but it was all in vain
That's what I get when the one holding the knife answers to the
name

Mad, mad, mad, 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 stutter when I speak


Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad

I get the feelin' I've been cut down, cut down
I get the feelin' I've been cut down, cut down
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
That's what I get when the one holding the knife answers to the
name

Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad
Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad


14.Untutored Youth

We are untutored youth and heres the proof.
Dont wanna know anything we don't and it's the truth - and they
lost out.
If you can't hear me just start looking at my mouth - and so you
are.
You might not like it but there's nothing you can do - 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.
And that's the truth.
When it feels like all you ever do is loose - here is the catch.
There's nowhere you're gonna be a perfect match - we won't fit
in.
But there is no way in hell they are gonna win - and that's it.
Not even (the finest pair of) 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.
- would you like lemon or lime with that piece of advice mister?


15.Fever

Lyricist:Eddie Cooley, John Davenport

I just stopped listening to your story
As if I paid attention once
And I never once felt more alive, alive, alive

Speeding up the pace on the machine
Calling radio and magazines
Preaching to the ordinary ones
Yes teaching all the ordinary ones

It gives me fever

I just stopped listening to your story
I'll start forgetting all at once
And I never once felt more alive, alive, alive

Speeding up the pace on the machine
Calling radio and magazines
Hate my job can't wait to cut the chain
I love speaking to the slow and the insane

It gives me fever

I just stopped listening to your story
And I'll turn the tables all at once

Speeding up the pace on the machine
Calling radio and magazines
My watch is ticking fast upon my wrist
I wanna slow it down so I'll put it on my fist, yeah

Fever, fever, fever
I get fever, fever
