Song lyrics
Do what I want cause I can and if I don't
Because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored
Because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve cause I give and receive
Because I wanna
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said
Because I'm gonna

Hate to say I told you so
ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you knew
Cause I wanted to

Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot
Because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait
Because I wanna
No need two, three, too late
Because I'm gonna

Hate to say I told you so
ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so

Do what I please, gonna spread the disease
Because I wanna
Gonna call all the shots for the 'no's and the not's
Because I wanna

YEAH

Ask me once I'll answer twice
Cause what I know I'll tell
Because I wanna
Sound device and lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud
Because I wanna

OH YEAH

Unoriginal. Bland lyrics. Uncaptivating. Unprogressive. Hear a lot better than this.

I think the hives is the greatest band human kind have ever seen..I, personally, know the hives because they're from my hometown fagertsa in sweden.
What I like about the hives is that they are not as cocky or self-abstract as other world famous artists..they are just a bunch of average guys who likes do play together.

I have met them and they are so generous and friendly as people can be..

I like their style..keep on rocking guys..I admire U more than God Himself

I went to see them last night in birmingham and they were so good even if they did take two hours to come on. this was one of the best songs they played.
