Because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored
Because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve cause I give and receive
Because I wanna
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said
Because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so
ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you knew
Cause I wanted to
Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot
Because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait
Because I wanna
No need two, three, too late
Because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so
ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so
Do what I please, gonna spread the disease
Because I wanna
Gonna call all the shots for the 'no's and the not's
Because I wanna
YEAH
Ask me once I'll answer twice
Cause what I know I'll tell
Because I wanna
Sound device and lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud
Because I wanna
OH YEAH
Hate to Say I Told You So [The Hives]
The Swedish rock band The Hives deliver their signature punk energy on this track from the 2002 Spider-Man soundtrack. Their high-octane delivery contrasts sharply with the superhero genre, injecting a raw, rebellious attitude into the film's musical score. The song exemplifies the band's ability to blend garage rock with pop sensibilities, creating a memorable recording that defined their international breakthrough. While the soundtrack features diverse artists, The Hives' contribution stands out for its aggressive guitar work and catchy chorus, capturing the chaotic spirit of the era's youth culture without adhering to traditional superhero tropes.
