Oh, all I want to know
All I want

With just a touch of my burning hand
I send my astro zombies to rape this land
Prime directive, exterminate
The whole human race

And your face drops in a pile of flesh
And then your heart, heart pounds
Till it pumps in death
Prime directive, exterminate
Whatever stands left

All I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Who'd I do this for
Hey, me or you

And all I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Who'd I do this for
Hey, me or you

Oh, all I want to know
All I want

With just a touch of my burning hand
I'm gonna live my life to destroy your world
Prime directive, exterminate
The whole fuckin' race

Then your face drops in a pile of flesh
And then your heart, heart pounds
And it pumps in death
Prime directive, exterminate
The whole fuckin' place well

All I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Who'd I do this for
Hey, me or you

And all I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Who'd I do this for
Hey, me or you

Oh, all I want to know
All I want to know
All I want to know
All I want oh
Go

    Link(s):Sorry, messed up the first paste:

    Oh, all I want, blood
    All I want

    With just a touch of my burning hands
    Send my astro zombies to rape this land
    Prime directive, exterminate
    The whole human race

    And your face drops in a pile of flesh
    And then your hard heart pounds
    Till it pumps in death
    Prime directive, exterminate
    Whatever stands

    Well, all I want is sin
    It's all I got to do
    And what I do it for
    Ain't me or you

    And all I want is sin
    And all I gotta do
    And who I do this for
    Ain't me or you

    Oh, all I want, blood
    All I want

    With just a touch of my burning hand
    I'm gonna live my life to destroy your world
    Prime directive, exterminate
    The whole fuckin' race

    And your face drops in a pile of flesh
    And then your hard heart pounds
    Till it pumps in death
    Prime directive, exterminate
    This whole fuckin' place well

    All I want is sin
    And all I gotta do
    Who I do this for
    Ain't me or you

    And all I want is sin
    And all I gotta do
    And who'd I do this for
    Ain't me or you

    Oh, all I want, blood
    All I want, blood
    All I want, blood
    All I want, oh

    General Comment:The tragedy of good melodic punk music is that it ultimately can never live up to what it could be. The few talented and dedicated musicians eventually grow tired of the simplicity of the songs and eventually try to move on the "bigger and better." The rest of them are just poor musicians and can't keep up and eventually burn out. If the original incarnation of The Misfits could have landed just one a reliable and decent drummer then they probably would have never broken up.

    General Comment:Sure, the name comes from the movie, but I don't think the song is about the movie, per say. Nothing in the song really fits with the movie, other than there being a killer referred to as an "astro zombie."

    There's no crazy scientist or alien waving his hand and sending any sort of army of zombies or anything. The mad scientist in the movie isn't trying to destroy humanity, either.

    General Comment:ALL THE GUYS WHO WERE ARGUING ABOUT ALL OF THAT SHIT ARE ASSHOLES. LIVE YOUR FUCKING LIFES. SHOW A LITTLE TOLERANCE. HOW CAN'T JUST FUCKING ASK FOR TOLERANCE IF YOU DON'T FUCKING GIVE IT?.
    It's about the movie. Could have some kind of secondary message about politics.
    Anyway, the song fucking rocks.

    General Comment:God damn! I want the blood of mcr. Those pussies ruined it. Damn Neversoft. Bands like mcr should die. I wish Travis Barker would have died in that crash. I also wish the plane would have crashed into Pete Wentz's house. Misfits!

    General Comment:@ Peer Bour on Me:
    No you are wrong. This song is about liberal idiots plagued by white guilt, indoctrinated by the idealogic state aparatus disguised as higher education. These zombies are wallowing in the past, trying to keep people mired in self loathing for acts they had nothing to do with, such as slavery or American Indian treatment.
    Those people (read: you) are the zombies trying to exterminate humankind.
    My point in case you havent figured it out yet is anyone can decontruct art to fit their life views. So stop peddling your bullshit American Indian theories.

    @ SaintHak:
    lol I can relate I have rented some movies based on Misfits songs to try to put them into context and they have all sucked. They liked some weird movies.
