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!

[cliffjosephs]

Whoever is playing Corpo-Pelle absolutely killed it. I want to see more of him.

[jamessullenriot]

FYI -Just a reminder that its not normal for bands to sounds this good and fresh 20+ years in.

[theyreMineralsMarie]

This comeback just proves that their sound truly timeless.

[BLCKNR]

One of the few bands that haven't lost its magic.

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!

[DM_]

How lucky are we? An explosive new song from The Hives with a Dr. Matt Destruction appearance? YES PLEASE!!! Thank you guys!

[jim]

Dr Matt Destruction cameo! Kick ass song!

[JasonGeske-uixl]

Thank you to The Hives for dropping this atomic bomb of an album and saving rock and roll!

[teenageartscene]

This song makes me want to use consumer electronics without reading the safety warnings first!

[Toby_Bartlett]

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.

[WarehouseSiouxFalls]

Thank you Hives for saving rock and roll!

[amslu]

This will be the best rock album of the year. No doubt.

[Didymus-vzuy]

Excellent song and video from The Hives as always. Also good to see Dr. Matt Destruction again!

[Alex]

The CEO is giving off big Denholm Reynholm vibes

[bagamingshow]

Love The Hives. Had no clue Matt D wasn't well. Happy to see him still alive.

[irotinmyskin]

It's insane how after all these years they keep putting out amazing music.

[mollychenault]

Seeing Matt make a cameo warms my cold, dead heart ❤️ Also, this album is going to be the greatest album that ever existed. 🎉

[katda]

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.

[BathedInTorment]

Really amazing seeing Matt get a spot in the video. The man’s still part of the band even when he’s not playing in it.
