President’s bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny ride
Kennedy’s shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny ride

Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president’s dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie suck.

My favorite Misfits bop.

    Such a bop

    My problem with all my favorite Misfit songs is the music is so good whils the lyrics are so stupid edgelord shit.

    Bullet: yeah I can’t send a friend or a partner Glenn Danzig crooning “masturbate me and slurp up all the cum”.

    Last Caress: gonna do what to someone’s mom now? (But then his crooning at the end is just so good with those guitars)

    Hybrid moments: basically " love it when you cry and love how you look when you’re battered"

    Attitude: about beating up a partner

    Theme for a Jackal: the filter’s going to get me

    In the doorway: there’s a subtext, let’s say

    At least Return of the Fly is relatively benign

    I’ve been inspired to do some covers of Misfits songs with more appropriately politically targeted violent lyrics than just indiscriminate violence toward women but I haven’t gotten around to it because I don’t know how to make music in the style I want for that project.
