Misfits feat. Zoli Teglas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴We walk the streets at night
We go where eagles dare
They pick up every movement
They pick up every loser
With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care?

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby, baby

The omelet of disease
Awaits your noontime meal
Her mouth of germicide
Seducing all your glands

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby, baby

Let's test your threshold of pain
Let's see how long you last
That tappin' in your retina
Unbosoms all your past
With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care?
Let's go where eagles dare
We'll go where eagles dare

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby, baby

Overall Meaning

The Misfits' song "Where Eagles Dare" tells a tale of rebellion against authority and societal norms. The first lines describe the singers walking the streets at night, daring to go where eagles (a symbol of freedom and strength) dare. However, the authorities are always watching, picking up on every movement, and every loser. The singer questions whether the authorities truly care about the people they are surveilling with their jaded eyes and features. The chorus repeats the phrase "I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch," emphasizing the singer's refusal to be controlled or labeled by society's standards.

The second verse takes a more ominous turn, with the mention of an "omelet of disease" waiting for the singer's noontime meal. The woman's mouth is described as a "germicide," seducing all the singer's glands - perhaps a metaphor for the cultural pressures to conform to societal norms. The breakdown of the chorus, inviting the listener to "think about it, baby," emphasizes the importance of questioning authority and societal expectations.

The final verse seems to suggest that rebellion is not without its risks - the singer invites the listener to "test your threshold of pain" and "see how long you last." This may be a warning that rebellion is not an easy path, and there may be consequences to standing up to authority. Nonetheless, the chorus repeats the rallying cry of "I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch," suggesting that the singer is determined to resist societal pressure and authority figures.
