Introduce The Metric System In Time Lyrics
Been trying for all my life but I cant add up your subtraction.
Work, eat, playthen 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 its attraction.
Why settle for twenty-four when I can have a hundred fractions.
Who knew I'd be the one pulling off the oerfect crime.
So heres 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 wil 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 its total success.
Got my way of doing things and its bound to gain your attraction.
A hundred hours is my supply its 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.
Work, eat, playthen 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 its attraction.
Why settle for twenty-four when I can have a hundred fractions.
Who knew I'd be the one pulling off the oerfect crime.
So heres 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 wil 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 its total success.
Got my way of doing things and its bound to gain your attraction.
A hundred hours is my supply its 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.

This was the first song I heard by the hives. On one of the "punk-o-rama" comps. Im not sure what it's about,possible about comming to emerika and the public not liking thier song of something,and how he'll change their mind.
I meant sound
It's about thinking about something in a new way. Changing time to the metric system. Instead of 24 hours, you convert it into 100 fractions. Then you get the appearance of more time, even though it's still the same amount of time, just in different portions. So it's all a big, crazy illusion.
yowza_bean...i do believe you soundly hit the nail on the head. excellent observation. i agree with you.
I don't know why, but I hate this song. I think its because the subject is so dumb and pointless. Everything else from Veni Vedi Vicious Is awesome
I love this song.....i agree with yowza_bean....great job...the hives kick ass
This is one of my favs! Metric Time? What an interesting concept!
