The Swedish post-punk rockers return with a raucous, swaggering, riveting single with blistering changes of chorus pace, a stylish video inspired by the art style of Roy Lichtenstein, and heralding their upcoming album The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, out on 29 August on Play It Again Sam.

I felt bad, I took a pill
Dilate my iris and destroy my will
All of the sun, all the stars align
But I got a problem of a different kind, uh
Always talking 'bout yours and mine
They keep the meter running all the time
It's empty, but you shouldn't let it
I stay fucked up and I don't regret it now
Bow down to the mayor of nothing
Over the roof and I'm shaking you out
Not going down, man, I'm rising above it
Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about
Oh, let me paint a picture
I ain't no fucking snob
Oh, let me paint a picture
More like a fucking god (To you)
Don't follow them, maybe they're lost too
You gotta think of something else to do
I'm feeling nothing, never, ever tried
You keep selling, but I'm never buying
Live in a dumpster, I don't mind
Bitchin', cryin', moan and whine
Break up for little piece for free
But they don't know about the hefty fee
Bow down to the mayor of nothing
Over the roof and I'm shaking you out
Not going down, man, I'm rising above it
Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about
Oh, let me paint a picture
I ain't no fucking snob
Oh, let me paint a picture
More like a fucking god (To you)
All this can be yours and mine
I never wanted it myself
But I can't understand it
I'm coming out, I can't lament, woo
Oh, let me paint a picture
I ain't no fucking snob
Oh, let me paint a picture
More like a fucking god (To you)
Oh, let me paint a picture
I ain't no fucking snob
Oh, let me paint a picture
More like a fucking god (To you)
