The Hives - Dead Quote Olympics Lyrics

The dead quote Olympics
The dead quote Olympics
The dead quote Olympics
The dead quote Olympics

You can't make an omelette
Without breakin' an egg
And I can't make a headache
If I don't aim at the head

You had enough of their thoughts, have your own
Then you wouldn't have to be such a clone
That just won't get you nowhere
You thought it would?

The dead quote Olympics
(It's on)
The dead quote Olympics
(You won)
The dead quote Olympics
(I'm done)
The dead quote Olympics

This time you've really got somethin'
It's such a clever idea
But it doesn't mean it's good
'Cause you found it at the library

Yes they were smart but they're dead
And you're repeatin' all that they said
You know it don't make you clever
Like you thought it would

The dead quote Olympics
(It's on)
The dead quote Olympics
(You won)
The dead quote Olympics
(I'm done)
The dead quote Olympics

You didn't read between the lines
So it won't do you any good, it's true
(The dead quote Olympics)
And that moment that you live for
It doesn't live for you
(The dead quote Olympics)

When weekends set standard and pace
When we're all showered in books and berets
And that will just get us nowhere
Who thought it would?

The dead quote Olympics
(It's on)
The dead quote Olympics
(You won)
The dead quote Olympics
(I'm done)
The dead quote Olympics

The dead quote Olympics
(It's on)
The dead quote Olympics
(You won)
The dead quote Olympics
(I'm done)
The dead quote Olympics
