The Hives Introduce The Metric System In Time lyrics

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 the 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

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
