The Hives-introduce The Metric System In Time Lyrics - 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, yea 

A way out of this mess 

So sick of trying to make my time last 

An' ending up with less 

Know your way of doing things and it 

Lost its attraction 

Why settle for twenty four 

When I can have a hundred fractions? 

Who knew I'd be the one 

Pulling off that perfect crime? 

So here's my new line 

I'll change your mind 

And the metric system to time 

Caused trouble all over the town 

An' it's bound to start a reaction 

Metric time will come around 

It's gonna overtake your contraction 

I've found a way out, yea 

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 

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 from mind 

And the metric system to time
