Countdown To Shutdown
This guy Maslow he had a ladder
That you use to get up there
So what is the view like from up there?
Well you can't see the bottom of the stairs
And so it goes around the world
A million boys in love with a dozen girls
Tighten the screw But not for you
Til they can't figure out what to do
It goes 4 3 2 1
Countdown To Shutdown
They are coming for the crown
They are gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Lookout baby this is it
Shutdown
My guy Ponzi he had a scheme
And the world is like a head of hair
Some are waiting for their share
Some are bald one is a billionaire
It’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle
Enshrouded in a mystery
Got all the facts got all the figures
But with all of them you disagree
It goes 4 3 2 1
Countdown To Shutdown
They are coming for the crown
They are gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Lookout baby this is it
Shut up!

Destruction's cameo is indeed the best cameo in the history of cameos! That was awesome!
-
FYI -Just a reminder that its not normal for bands to sounds this good and fresh 20+ years in.
-
Whoever is playing Corpo-Pelle absolutely killed it. I want to see more of him.
-
The videographer for this video deserves an Academy Award... Too much great stuff going on... Concept, actual band played white collar stiffs, top shelf acting / humor, Dr. Matt Destruction cameo, Magnus Krepper destroying the lead role, and having 100% delivered the lyrical narrative.. Besides, the song f##king rocks!
-
One of the few bands that haven't lost its magic.
-
Dr Matt Destruction cameo! Kick ass song!
-
This comeback just proves that their sound truly timeless.
-
Every song on this album is gonna be a banger I can tell. How do these guys still bring it this hard? We must protect them at all costs
-
How lucky are we? An explosive new song from The Hives with a Dr. Matt Destruction appearance? YES PLEASE!!! Thank you guys!
-
This song makes me want to use consumer electronics without reading the safety warnings first!
-
Thank you to The Hives for dropping this atomic bomb of an album and saving rock and roll!
-
Sometimes I forget that The Hives are the greatest roll and rock band in the world. And then they release a new single and I am reminded that they are the greatest rock and roll band in the world.

The Hives will never stop being cool
-
That bass line is pure genius
-
This will be the best rock album of the year. No doubt.
-
Love The Hives. Had no clue Matt D wasn't well. Happy to see him still alive.
-
Excellent song and video from The Hives as always. Also good to see Dr. Matt Destruction again!
-
So happy to see the Doctor’s cameo. When I started playing the bass guitar, I was so fascinated with showy/technical bass players, guys like Wooten, Sheehan, Myung, Flea and Claypool. Then my band covered Walk Idiot, and i was blown away by Dr Matt Destruction’s simple yet thunderous bass line coupled with Chris Dangerous’ drumming. And I can say, after that, my musicality matured a little bit.
-
I am not even a huge fan of The Hives, but this song is such a banger - love it! And whoever this actor is, he is doing an incredible job. Amazing video.
