They are punk ass bitches and they are proud of it. The big hit single, "Hate To Say I Told You So," is more of the same fun:

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 recieve - because I wanna gonna get through your head what the mystery man said - because I'm gonna/Hate to say I told you so/I do believe I told you so.

As if to throw you off of their scent, the Hives slip in a groovy-sweet melody reminiscent of a Rascal's number, "Find Another Girl" which tells the sad but universal tale of heartbreak:

The very first time I fell in love got my heart broken then people would say when I passed their way/"Theres a hot young man going there going there An unhappy lad going there./Well one day my mother called me to here side said son "why you so blue"/"Mother I lost the girl that I love why wont you tell me what to do"/Mother wont you tell me what to do?

I am gonna play the Hives loud, I'm gonna be proud, BECAUSE I WANNA.
