Composed by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton. Originally released on the Judas Priest album Screaming for Vengeance (Columbia, 1982).
The challenge was tall. Do a classic metal track using trash. Even taller because I cannot sing like Rob Halford. What did I learn? Cardboard boxes are terrible drums. If you really want to do that, I recommend recording one hit, treating it, building samples, and sequencing the samples. I played it live which was extra muddy.
lyrics
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 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 I 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 and 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 ahh
Comin' on now
You've got another thing comin'
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
