You've 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'

Overall Meaning

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest is a song full of attitude and defiance. The lyrics are about a person who is determined to live life to the fullest and make the most of every opportunity. The singer is confident, daring and not afraid to take risks. He stands tall and proud, feeling invincible as long as the music is loud. The chorus, "You've got another thing comin'," reaffirms that the singer will not let anyone stand in his way and he will achieve whatever he sets his mind to. The song ends on a crescendo with the line "You've got another thing comin'" repeating over and over, driving home the message that the singer will not be stopped.


The first verse of the song makes it clear that the singer is not going to sit around and watch the world pass him by. He's taking flight and living his life to the fullest. He's young, proud and as long as the music's loud, he's on top of the world. The second verse is more confrontational, with the singer calling the shots and warning his detractors that he won't back down. He's got an ace card up his sleeve and he's not afraid to use it.


The song's message is one of resilience and determination. The singer is not deterred by setbacks or obstacles, and he's not afraid to take risks in pursuit of his goals.
