LYRICS
You’ve never seen me look so good before
This silver lining and this golden glow
This shine all mine
Looking like I’m fresh off an assembly line
I was a star baby ever since the dawn of man
I got some help for you let’s call it a masterplan
My advice? Roll a dice!
Then roll away with it cause you’re cold as ice
You might as well

Tune in to Rigor Mortis…
A fading flicker and a closing door
The sound of bickering I heard before
I took my feet out your puddle cause you know what
I got better things to do cause you know what I got
I got these people eating out of the palm of my hand
I got them answering everyone single one command
I know you want my time, here’s my line
Yeah I got your offer decline decline
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis…
Now you might feel I cut you down to size
Start at the top and cut a million miles
It’s an astute observation I must admit
Here’s how much longer I can stand your shit
I’m saying hold it back, this tongue in crack
It’s gotta end I’m not an evening snack
I got your emails saying that you wanna meet
I got your emails saying that you wanna meet
I got your emails yeah delete delete
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio
You might as well
Tune in to Rigor Mortis Radio

Tune in to Rigor Mortis…

I forgive you for the 11 year wait, this new record is insanely good

@@kennethkadaver The Bomb and Trapdoor Solution (and Good Samaritan for that matter) both sound like what I imagine Barely Legal would sound like if they had made it at this point in their career

[@CrisCrunch]

Matt Helders drumming with The hives to be able to perform an up-tempo song made after 2013 is so funny.

[@jackburford5890]

he plays brianstorm and R U mine every gig and they’re considered up tempo songs…

[@tacofood294]

​@@jackburford5890neither of those songs were made after 2013, dummy

Matt Helders happy to Play rock since TBHC and The Car

[@Rodolka]

He had to go to another band to play an uptempo song😂

[@emmanuhomes5977]

Valió la pena esperar 11 años?? Obviamenteeeeeee!!!! The Hives se convirtió mi Banda favorita cuando decidí escuchar de nuevo todos sus álbumes, es que simplemente todas las canciones te ponen de buenas y las que son más tranquilas, te dan un suspiro para poder seguir brincando la siguiente canción Este nuevo álbum tiene de todo, grandes canciones tipo Tick Tick Boom o Walk Idiot Walk con Bogus Operandi o Countdown to shotdown Canciones más tranquilas como Rigor Mortis Radio Definitivamente The Hives es una Banda demasiado infravalorada Vamos The Hivessssss no puedo esperar a verlos en el Corona Capital 🖤🤍

[@cristopher3349]

Shit - their songs are better than ever... 🥳

[@felixd.4150]

Saw you guys open for International Noise Conspiracy in 2001 at North Star Bar in Philadelphia. You guys were incredible. I knew you'd be performing in front of this many people some day.

[@DonKonstantinos]

The headliners of that day this video was shot were actually Arctic Monkeys, which is why Matt was able to play this song... They performed both days in Athens as the second name behind AM. That being said, they ABSOLUTELY ROCKED IT!!! They could just as easily have been the main act, everyone was super hyped and impressed by their performance!! I attended the second day which was sold out and it was 41 degrees outside in the middle of July, yet the energy they brought was nothing sort of impressive!

[@felixd.4150]

@DonKonstantinos Still blowing the main acts off the stage 22 years later! Not even surprised.

[@andreyreverb]

Foda!

[@tenten90384]

It was fucking biblical, mate.

[@robbiematthews168]

Thank you to The Hives for letting the Arctic Monkeys drummer finally not play the boring crap he’s had to play with the Arctic monkeys from the last couple of years.. the hives gave him a chance to show off again..

Thanks for the info, watching my hives inflammation fade day after day until they completely vanished was such a relief, I went with what I pointed out and within the first 10 days or so the urticaria/angioedema was barely visible! I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and after 20 days my skin has never been healthier!
