Tick Tick Boom Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
I was right all along
Yeah yeah yeah
You come tagging along
Exhibit A
On a tray
What you say
As I throw it in your face
Exhibit B
What you see
Well that’s me
I’ll put you back in your place

Yeah I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
So what you waiting for?
Yeah
I was right all along

Cause I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
I’ve got my eye on the score
I'm gonna cut to the core
It’s too late
It’s too soon
Or is it

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick … Boom!!

Yeah yeah yeah
I was right you were wrong
Yeah yeah yeah
Going, going you’re gone!
I saw your hesitating, waiting too much
Till it slipped through your hands
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door
Cause there’s no second chance!

Cause I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
I’ve got my eye on the score
I'm gonna cut to the core
It’s too late
It’s too soon
Or is it

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick … Boom!!

And you come crying to me, but's it's too late.
The man you try hard to be....
But it’s too late!
Get your head out of the sand
But it’s too late!!

It’s too late,
Too late ! Too late! Too late!

Yeah!
But it’s too late!
But it's too late!

Get your head out of the sand,
But it’s too late!

Cause I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
I’ve got my eye on the score
I'm gonna cut to the core
It’s too late
It’s too soon
Or is it

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick … Boom!!

It’s too late
It’s too soon
It’s too late
It’s too soon
It’s too late
It’s too soon

Or is it …

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick…. Boom!!!

Mmm, I love the attitude and feel of this song. When you know someone is wrong and when it's finally a proven fact that you were right, it feels so satisfying. This song has captured that moment of reveling in satisfaction.

The song is about idiots who cheat/take cheap shortcuts to help themselves and end up screwing everyone because they are lazy.

This is one of my new favorite bands, this is the song that got me into them :P.

As for the meaning, I think it's just about the Hives returning to the music scene. They've seen themselves as the best band period, so this song kinda seems to view them as returning to "save rock and roll" in a sense.

The music video is pretty cool, but I don't think it accurately portrays the energy and excitement of this song.
