The Hives - Introduce the metric system in time lyrics

rate me

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 trying to make my time last and ending up with less

I know your way of doing things and it has 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 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 my mind and the metric system to time
