The Hives Introduce The Metric System In Time

The Hives

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.
