"Combat Baby" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
We used to leave the blue lights on and there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone, it's all caffeine-free
Faux punk fatigues
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
Get no harm done, no
None of them want to fight me
[Chorus]
Combat baby
Come back, baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
You said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
[Verse 2]
Get back in town
I wanna paint it black
I wanna get around
Easy living crowd, so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong
But no one here wants to fight me like you do
[Chorus]
Combat baby
Come back, baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty, mild seventies child
Every mighty, mild seventies child
Beats me
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)
[Chorus 2]
Combat baby
Come back, baby
Combat baby, come back
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby
Combat baby, come back
[Outro]
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?

love your new album is amazing
Anyone still listening in 2020?
I love this song.
yes, one of their best songs
banger
I just discovered this song today lol
since the release until now.. still have the cd btw
Hell ya. Right here
The way she sings "no one wants to fight me like you do" is so awesome :)
I think she's a French Canadian...
This song, more than any other, transports me back to age 19, hungover on a Sunday morning, watching Much Loud for hours on end... aka: the glory days.
It is illegal to drink at age 19
@@Baltasarmk 19 is the legal age in Canada... I think it’s 18 in Quebec.... I think I went to work hungover for the first time at 15 though 🤭. Don’t tell anyone!
I was 17 and a senior in high school, listening to this on my iPod nano while riding the bus...
@@Baltasarmk Lol, idiot, not in canada and even if it was illegal why they fuck would that stop them??? lol... are you from afghanistan or something?
@@davecyr1578 LOL, why the fuck would that even stop someone, I was probably 19 or 20 when this song was popular, I remember going to lees palace to watch bands on Bloor street by christie station, if you were 14 then it would be possible to have some beers and get in there if you were slick enough and snuck in with a group of people smoking outside
This was my favorite song to sing on Rock Band. The fucking nostalgia makes my heart hurt.. Fantastic talent and power.
Rock band 3 DS
Metric's songs have criminally low views on youtube.
Kevin Maddick yeah artwork.up.to bed bugs ragnorok 5 masonic dvx100B.the.end.if Fairfield dreams + josh + lulu.drop.off @ joshua lindwall on lulu.school....
Kevin Maddick Carmen.love is the name.of the.show.moving from the bed that all.America was.
actually this is Combat Baby's song
And so does this comment.
I agree. One of the best alternative rock/pop bands of this era.
That little dance Emily does at 0:47 lives rent free in my head.
lol
My favorite band... My internet friend introduced them to me 18 years ago and I've stayed with them ever since. This particular album is so nostalgic.
Good for you! It's an interesting choice. Music is about whatever makes you feel good. About yourself or others. There's so many good Canadian indie bands Tegan and Sara. Arcade Fire are epic. New Pornographers. Pilot Speed. As long as you didn't say Justin Bieber. Lol. I'm a huge Foo Fighters fan. So much talent in one man. Playing for Nirvana then being in another colossally huge band after that is epic in my opinion. RIP Taylor
I am 87 years old and this song reminds me of the struggle my 1970s born grandchildren face in the arts in Canada. It’s true that many might mild seventies children are far more successful than those who fail yet are still born in the Sesame Street decade. This song makes me feel sixty six again.
I discovered them circa 2007 by accident, and I became a fan. It fizzled out over the years, but I still love the old stuff.
@@catullusisdead hello there. u r pretty much around my parents age.
i wish u best of health and happiness there Sir.
@@societycrumbles i listen to alot of Indie and alt rock. this song reminds of my ex wife then when it first came out. now i am here for the fun of it. really fun song to play.
its Saturday night and i feel like partying lol.
Needed this song today. Fight the lethargy. Don’t go quietly. Combat baby come back.
2022 and this still slaps
ouch.
2023 :v
Fr anen
@@TheMefisto94unfortunately
Slaps what?
With this song I became a Metric fan
Ava Adore
#MeToo
I started hearing one of their songs on NBA 2K10 and im glad i got to play it and here this which led me to hearing more songs and its criminally underrated
Ava Adore same :)
Heard Speed the Collapse on FIFA something without realising, years later hear this on Rock Band 3 ♥
I was an instant fan and bought the CD when it came out.I can't believe that was in 2003. Great band who kept making great music.
heard this at the gym thought it said "come back baby" tried so hard to find it, finally found it, I'm a proud canadian!
Metric - Monster hospital is a terrible song. And most songs that come from Canada is about someone complaining about something or about someone being rude to them, Like MAGIC! - RUDE, and most of Justin Bieber's songs (Them both are Canadian)
taishaun pelley i'm laughing so hard at this i don't know why
similar haha
taishaun pelley And most American songs are about smoking meth and having sex. Stereotypes suck
Photographic Time LMFAO nice
Still 10 years later, one of the best songs from one of the best Canadian bands of all time. It's got everything you could ask for, a great beat, rocking music, and some clever lyrics. Fight...fight... fight... fight baby!
Still one of the best
It's been 20 years since release and this song is still amazing.
What's funny is that their reception in Canada was bad until LA hipsters picked them up.
There is so much Breeders and Pixies influence in their songs! Love it!
Damn, memories. I literally forgot a good chunk of my youth bc of my depression and re-discovering this now just hit me like a cold slap in the face. fucking insane. I remember...
right?????
Team America: the deleted scenes
Fight off the lethargy. Don't go quietly.
I have said fight off the 'other cheek' for all these years lmaoooo
One of the most underrated bands that sounds amazing live
This is beautiful. I love old Metric, I love new Metric. I love Metric
real definition of underrated
2024 ❤🎉 lets go still the nostalgia hit’s 😅
God I miss the 2000s
Good times
I am 100% sure that Metric is my all-time favorite band.
Ahhh it's been a while since I've heard this classic! This is by far the definitive Metric track.
Damn, your comment is 14 years old
@@56Tyskie😢
Scott Pilgrim vs the world brought me here in 2010 and I came back 10 years later after rewatching the awesome movie :)
My all time favorite Metric song. And I’m a 70’s child!!
Child of the 70s.
listening in 2021. I love every one of their albums in a special way for each
2019 and still rocking!!!
Man I'm pretty sure I got drunk and fell asleep with a 3- song metric playlist going on repeat at full volume the other day. What am I even like?
Don't go quietly.
Brilliant band, brilliant songs, brilliant frontwoman!
without a doubt one of the best bass lines from metrick
I feel like Metric is Canada's way of making up for Justin Bieber.
Also, I love metric
nothing can make up what justin bieber has done
fadzlirot
Sorry, I respectfully disagree. I think Metric is doing a fine job!
DeathToMuricans The theoretical band name would certainly get publicity for its name. =P
also arcade fire makes up to bieber
Indiecardigans97 and the Scott pilgrim series
great track! congrats to emily and the metric crew for their musical success. wishing them the best going forward!
I love this song/video. I remember when it first came out and my friend's dad showing me it back in the day. 8 years later and it's still one of my favorite songs
i was intro'd to this band by a college friend who later took his own life...... i have no other message except that i still remember him through this song
2024 and for the following years this great song 🎤
Man I can’t believe this song was written in 1990s, now it is 2022 I thought it is a new song when I first heard it in the radio
Haha this song literally came out in the 2000s.
the only band i can think of that feels like them lately is 海朋森 - 他打定主意做一个游客 but this is 8 years old.
these guys are aaaamazinnng and so underrated, i want them to become MEGA STARSSSSS
i found Metric from Scott Pilgrim. Now they are my favourite band!!! :)
Found this is when I was 12 while watching a commercial on muchmusic, remember not knowing a single word of the song but had it stuck in my head, until I finally bought the album. Metric was my first "cool" album. 20 now and still obsessed with em.
One of the best bass lines I've ever heard.
I saw Metric about 20 years ago at UWO. They were amazing.
i don't know why but emily heines makes me think of uma thurman in pulp fiction
+Derek Thompson that's the perfect way to describe her! It's such a lost art, and she has it naturally.
She doesn't look like her to me but she reminds me of her. Maybe it's the facial expressions and how she is built and how she moves
I kinda see winona ryder
This was first Metric song. Then it was Grow Up and Blow Away. Then it was absolutely everything onwards.
I'm pretty sure this is my favourite Metric tune.
I miss old Metric so much.
She was more significant than meets the eye in the punk world
That twisty dance that Emily does...oh yesh.

I love the the lyrics.The lyrics pretty much say to fight of her flaws and whatever problems she may have and fight them off and love her. "Fight off the lethargy. Don't go quietly." If you love anyone, no matter what problems they have, they should be ignored so you can love them for who they really are.
thats makes alot of sense.
+Jacob Schmor its more about the war industrial complex and how the american people have been lulled into a "lethargic" state not caring about where the next war is or what is happening.
Schmorskie. ****
Terrible advice without some caveats. If your partner's problems or flaws include abusive behavior or harmful thinking/actions, you should definitely not ignore it. You just march those faux punk fatigues right on out of there and stay safe.
First song I ever heard from Metric....Never looked back.
Might as well leave my two cents here as well then.
This song has just grown on me so much the past weeks. Catchy and uplifting. Never comes on at a bad time! Loving Metric to the end!
Jason Swagborn no world is.lokentnar going to be a winner church of cum day 4 on little nemo.on HBO.plz free and accepted new York city Masonic lodge takes credit form the big GOOD..
I freakin' LOVE this song.
Thank you Metric for making this song.
Love playing this on Rock band. So fun to play!!!
Combat baby! Combat babyyyyyy
This auto played on my Spotify and it’s great! Love this band now
no one here wants to fight me like you do. love it
Temaza de Metric.Se hicieron conocidos por allá en el 2005,desde la lejana Toronto,en Canadá.No pararon de hacer música,y su segunda mejor producción,Fantasies,de hace 10 años,es sin dudas,la mejor de todas.Todo gracias a quién,a la radio rock en Lima,Doble Nueve.La mejor fábrica de música de los últimos tiempos,que no te la cambien.
What?
I heard one line of it in a comercial and instantly loved the song.
Another great Metric song!
My uncle told me I recommended this song to him when I was 15& he still listens to it. I had completely forgotten about it. Still a banger
This is perfect for my enemies to lovers fantasies
there is no shortage of good canadian music.
❤ 2024 strong 💪🏻
2021! still a great song!
Bruh, I would really like to meet another Brazilian who listens to Metric so we can talk about how great this band is
This brings me back to high school.
still in love with this song
one of my favorite Rock Band songs
LOVE THIS SONG!
Stumbled on this after a long time, and wow brings me back to high school. I remember seeing them at mac hall around that time and the nostalgia hit me super hard. What a frickin jam this is. Thanks metric
Metric is a classy band, it goes to show you never know what will strike you and how much other people really effect your view of the world and taste.
I. can't. stop. listening. to this AMAZING SONG!!!
love this song, litterally just heard this song a few days ago. it gets a lot of repeats. and i love seeing Emily dance to this song, makes me wanna dance too.
brings back good memories of good music.
That classic Casio drumloop makes me happy. Nostalgia
Awesome song, so addictive.
i remember this was the first video I watched of them on MTV , very dark at night when they showed alternative bands. golden times of mtv
Metric , stars, broken social scene, arcade fire, all amazing all Canadian :)
she's an amazing singer!!!
i saw them at the bluesfest in ottawa on the 9th and they were AWESOME.
i was sooo close, and she came down off the stage to shake everybody's hands and she touched me! :)
OMG , I love this song!
Anyone in 2023?
Not often you hear a theremin in rock. Love it 😍
I LOVE THIS SONG!!
Even though the video is strange, I can't help but love it all.
We have amazing musicians. I miss home
What a feel of rhythm and music!!!
I'm actually in love with Emily Haines' voice
Easily one of my favorites!
One of my favorite songs (:
I'm going to see them in October. I'm so excited. Metric and Muse. Two birds, one ticket.
i love the vocals on this version.
I forgot how much i loved this song
i forgot longer. hope u remember to come back sometime.
live long & prosper!

😁
Her other band, Broken Social Scene, is a ridiculously awesome-sized band! When everyone's together from other projects, it's got 19 members!
Rock band brought me here like a decade ago and I still come back every now and again
DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG!!
This deserves more.
2011 baby!!
