You're Got Another Thing Comin'
Judas Priest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One life, I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight, I said, "I'll never get enough"
Stand tall, I'm young and kind of proud
I'm on the top, but as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'

That's right, here's where the talking ends
Well, listen, this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down rocks

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, it ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let it go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'

In this world we're livin' in, we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow

Oh, so hot, no time to take a rest, yeah
Act tough, ain't room for second best
Real strong, got me some security
Hey, I'm a big smash, I'm goin' for infinity, yeah

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing

(Comin' for you)
You've got another thing comin'
(Babe, it's a comin' now, oh)
You've got another thing comin'
(Oh yeah, it's a comin' down)
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
(Let's turn around and see us, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
You've got another thing comin'
(It's comin', it's a comin', comin', can you feel it?)
You've got another thing comin'
(Feel it, it's comin' now, it's comin' now)
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'




You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'

With as fucked up as things are, I’d have to agree. And I thought it was bad with Oblunder
