The Hives

"You Think You're So Darn Special"

Frances she lost forty pounds, so what about me?
Well I don't know much about anything
But I know I've got to pay
They never feed me, never let me watch T-V
They're gonna wish they never fucked with me

Spotlight pointed in my face, what's going on?
They're about to punish me for something that all of us would have done
I managed to escape, but I wasn't gone for long
They're holding me down, twisting my arm saying "You're the one to blame"

Still I haven't got a clue what's really on my mind
If you just got off my back the truth will be easier to find

How can I say that it was I? how can I say that it was I who broke the chain?
So what's with me? i'm such a mess
Mr. Twistmyarm is forcing me to confess

Don't know what's come over me, don't know what popped out
But I think I'm beginning to sense what this is really all about
They're looking for someone like me
For someone to blame, to take a fall, to take a dive
For someone they can frame

Still I haven't got a clue what's really on my mind
If you just got off my back the truth will be easier to find

"Some People"

So what, so what if I was wrong
I said you can't get me cause I'm far too strong
That's when he hit me and said that's not how it's gonna be
Then he emptied all my pockets as he emptied me
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Take me in, take my side, cause I really got to hide
Cause if you don't then I'm through cause no one knows what he might do
Take me in or lock me up cause these beatings got to top
I think I just ate too much

I thought I was through I was lonely and frightened didn't know what to do
He was about to hit me, ready to bust out all my teeth
If you get a cold it will only be so much easier to breathe

So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Got a cold, got to teeth and it sure is eaier to breathe
Still I don't like him, not one bit cause he's still doing that same old shit
Beating me up, bringing me down although I wish it was the other way around

You picked me up, took me in, so that I could get away from him
Now how the future looks for me that's what I'm about to see
But what I've learned from all of this is how it sets around my waist
How bad it was and still is and of course how bad it tastes
I think I just ate too much

"Cellblock"

Turn your back I'll take anything
Turn your back and I'll be out the door
Having done that cleptothing once more

I won't learn and I won't change I won't learn how to rearrange
This is the way i live, this is the way I'll die

Lock me up in a cell

Your words don't mean anything weather you say you like me or not
Now you say you wanna se me laugh (caught)

I won't learn and I won't change
Only extended to an ever greated range

Lock me up in a cell

"How Will I Cope With That?"

The light is getting better as the sun is going up
It looks to be proceeding not knowing where to stop
Barely awake I get out of bed
I've been thinking quite a lot about what you said
You said I feel like I am stuck so I'm leaving today
I'm taking my things don't you follow me
So you satisfy yourself and lay me back
Back upon the shelf
So you took what you owned and a whole lot more
And I'm eating my breakfast right off the floor
Cause I've got no plates no tables no nothing
I know you're angry but you could have left something
Now I stand alone again but I wish it wasn't so
I wish you were here in my atmophere but I know you're not
I'm missing you so

How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?

Did I love you wrong I'm such a mess
Was my love too strong then I'll love you less?
I'll do almost anything to get you back
And I'll take whoever tries to plug your jack
But that's not easy when you're not here
I wish I could flick a switch and you would appear
Cause I'd like to gain some of your sympathy
The only thing I've won is the pain you're causing me

So now what am I gonna do
I loom about still missing you
Can't seem to find no where to go
Can't seem to learn what I want to know
Though I shouldn't let it get to me
It bothers me that you went away
Was I too thin? Was I too fat?
Now you're gone and how will I cope with that?

How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?

"Let Me Go"

Buck please! ??

I'f you'd like to stay awhile, ?? tell you
?? got better things to do
you make me scared, ringing in my ears
??

You've got to let me go yeah
You've got to let me go yeah
??
I wanna lose it, but it won't go away mom

?? you're making fun of me
??

You've got to let me go yeah
You've got to let me go yeah
??
I wanna lose it, but it won't go away

You've got to let me go yeah
You've got to let me go yeah
??
I wanna lose it, but it won't go away mom

"Bearded Lady"

For fifteen years I've been working at the Circus
But nothing has been the same since the Bearded Lady showed up
She stood right there and then made it clear that it was me she wanted
What else could I do but stay away and hide?
Another night in the elephant booth, another night in the midget-van
Another sleepless night caused by something sticky coming up my face
There she was smiling at me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me

I ran away as fast as I could
Gotta get me another place to hide
I know that I should, and I keep running til the break of dawn
And I gotta keep running cause I know the hunt is on

The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me

"Automatic Schmuck"

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.
With a tendency to rock.

"Here We Go Again"

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 tommorow
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 recieve and get.
I believe that word my inner voiceis never left unheard.

"a.k.a. I-D-I-O-T"

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.
Who'll be the ones laughing knowing that the joke is gonna be on you.

"I'm A Wicked One"

They say it's off the record gotta keep it clean.
Can't be too abusive can't be too odscene.
But he's got a plan to build a future he's been putting it off for way too long.
Another safety pin through his cheek
and he's three chords short of a punkrock song.
Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say:
I'm a wicked one.
He's a stereotype bastard and he likes it that way.
Can't be all taht happy can't be all that gay.
Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say:
I'm a wicked one.
They say get off the stage they say get outta here.
Can't be all that punkrock can't be all that queer.
He'll make them wish they never knew him he'll make them pay for being wrong.
But he doesn't really know how to do that.
So we'll give him three chords to his punkrock song.
Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say:
I'M A WICKED ONE.

"Well, Well, Well"

The present has scared away the past.
And there's nothing left but now and future.
Time is moving all to fast I tried to grab some but it passed.
But thats the way it'll always be for me and you.
Pushing through and pushing way to hard in front of me a cart filled with future.
All to young to young to think like this.
Too much time has passed and I can't stand the future.

"Theme From"

Empty words fired at me with an oral
cannon
WE WANNA BE HEARD!
Lousy jerks such bad breath I put the fan on
This is where we draw the line we're
sick of you wasting all our time

Talking about you you're given
something to revolve
WE WANNA BE SEEN!
You're given a clue a three piece
puzzle for you to solve

This is where we draw the line we're
sick of you wasting all our time

Game over you have played out your last card
WE WANNA DISAPEAR!
Constant looser a change for the better can't be that hard

This is where we draw the line we're
sick of you wasting all our time.

"Whats That Spell?... Go To Hell!"

So here I am yeah!
Once again yeah!
Calling out the news
What's that spell
yeah! Got to hell yeah is that phrase I'm about to use
I saw you from my window when you were climbing in
it was just a matter of when
and sure enough you're back again.
So now you're standing on my floor
begging me for more you want alot that
I haven't got and I keep wondering
what for
Won't ever listen won't ever go away
But this time you won't be missing the point of what I've got to say

Cause you're that certain someone
who's been messing with the wrong one
What's that spell?
You get one at a time of my eight bits put them together
and read my lips
Whats that spell?
GO TO HELL!
Feels just like a sickness where you're a constant cough
Or maybe like a smell that just don't wanna wear off
Could you be liquid by accident retained
How do you spell the point that I sustain

"Uptempo Venomous Poison"

About to tell you something, something
you might already know but a green light
flashes before my eyes and it's time for my verbal flow
You're overthere I'm overhere
and I got things to say the latest news
about this and that and whatever might
come my way
So I can tell you anything, anything you
might wanna know

It's the truth, so I've heard, so I've read
yeah, that's the word

So I'm about to tell you anything, anything
you might wanna know and I won't hold
back noway cause I like the way we GO
GO GO!

Tell me something, and I'll be gone,
twisting facts and surely I'll pass'em on
I pass the word, I set it free and every
word you'll ever here has at some point
been through me

I can tell you anything, anything you might
wanna hear So red light yellow light green
light go then I'm the one to put the word
out there.

"Hail Hail Spit N Drool"

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.
Hail hail spit n'drool.

"King Of Asskissing"

Being the king of asskissing makes him a royal drag.
And the king of asskissing, he's after me again, bringing me his royal nag.
He takes every opportunity to get to me.
....And here he comes again dont think I'll ever be at rest.
I suppose happiness will come to some but I'll never be a lucky one.
Still I got to keep on hoping for the best.
But once again he comes again thats how the story goes
and it's been long enough for me to know where he's about to put his nose.
SOMETIME, SOMEDAY THAT
BASTARD'S GONNA PAY!
The king of of asskissing says Im the one and only.
And the king of asskissing with his constant presence he keeps me from being lonely.
He's a royal branch of luncay that gets to me.
....And here we go again it looks as if he's here to stay.
I've tried to beat to pull and whack.
But a monkey sliding down my back won't easily go away.
So once again he comes again about to reach his goal.
The one and only monrach with his kingdom in a hole.
SOMETIME;SOON THE KING OF ASSKISSING IS GONNA PAY

"Closed For The Season"

Called you up a few weeks ago thought I

So I'll ask you once I'll ask you twice and
if you still can't give a reason I'll hang a
blue sign over your left eye saying

my fist.

"Mad Man"

Mad man he operated, he opened up went in and seperated.

Mad man he operated, and what I before used to have in mind has now evaporated.

That's what I get when the one holding the knife answers to the name.....

"Fever"

I just stopped listening to your story
As if I paid attention once.
And I never once felt more alive,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.
And I'll start forgetting all at once.
And I never once felt more alive,alive,alive - ALIVE.

Speeding up the pace on the machine.

"Untutored Youth"

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!

YOUTH - YOUTH!.....
