License This Song 

• Oh, all I want to know
  All I want
  
  With just a touch of my burning hand
  I send my astro zombies to rape the 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 wanna say
  And all I gotta do
  Who'd I do this for
  Hey, me or you
  
  And all I wanna 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 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 wanna say
  And all I gotta do
  Who'd I do this for
  Hey, me or you
  
  And all I wanna say
  And all I gotta do
  Who'd I do this for
  Hey, me or you
  
  Oh, all I wanna know
  All I want to know
  All I want to know
  All I want oh

• Anon from NjThe song is based on the movie and not just the title on the song. It's written from the point of view of the scientist in the movie.
• Poopyballs from InglondLiterally all they did is make it sound not underwater. Get a grip on the idea of two bands being different and both good.
• Marilyn from Georgiaseeing grown ass men get upset over a cool band doing a cover of another cool bands song is simultaneously hilarious and kinda sad
• Kristian Kriesel from AustraliaDid the Misfits really need the money that badly that they'd let MCR cover the song? Who's doing a Misfits cover next? Maybe Matchbox Twenty lol
• Joe from San Diego, CaNo. Glenn Danzig NEVER would've allowed this, but that pusscake jerry only controls the misfits now and he's a f--king sellout. With the exceptions of a few songs like Hellena, the "new" misfits suck ALMOST as much as MCR. And this song, like most of their songs, is not based or even "loosely based" on a movie- just the song title.
• Sage from Warrenton, Vaits true that the Misfits had to have given MCR permission to use it. and after hearing what they did to it, i'm willing to bet they were blown away by how much they completely trashed one of the best songs ever recorded.
• Johnn from Tijuana, Mexicowhy you people talk about pussy emo glam My Chemical Romance in a misfits song?
• Cruz from St. Pual, Mn"Horrible bands covering great songs by amazing bands usually ends up in fail"-
  
  What the hell, stop PMSing just because you dont like hearing welcome to the black parade on the radio all the time
  "
  My Chemical Romance needs to stop thinking they're great and making garbage songs in honor of bands they like"-
  
  Obviosly my chemical romance had to get permission to be able to cover this song
  wow
  
  
  
  
• Tyler from Soldier City - Stc, Fli have to agree with everyone on here with common sense, my chemical romance blows and shouldn't cover this song, people have confused my old email (astrozombieseatmybrain) by saying, i love that MCR song, i said who? anyway this song is very loosley based on the movie, i has almost nothing to do with it, the movie doesn't even use th term astro zombies, it's one thing called 'astro-man'. awesome song though- evilive version is the best.
• Nick from Berkley, MiGreastest Misfit song
• Anna from Aberdeen, NcHorrible bands covering great songs by amazing bands usually ends up in fail, as demonstrated by this situation.
• Karen from Long Beach, Caf.y.i. My chemical romance doesnt think they are great they KNOW they are great. :)
• Chris from Basking Ridge, NjMy Chemical Romance needs to stop thinking they're great and making garbage songs in honor of bands they like. I'd be offended if I were the Misfits.
• V-starr from ?????????, MiI LOVE this song. My Chemical Romance did a cover of this song for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. (Hearing that song on THAM got me liking MCR)
