Misfits - Rise Above (Live) Lyrics






Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
When they can't do it themselves
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, it's no use
Societies arms of control
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
Think they're smart, can't think for themselves
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
Laugh at us behind our backs
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
I find satisfaction in what they lack
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, but it's no use
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, it's no use
We are born with a chance
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
We are born with a chance
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
And I am gonna have my chance
Rise above, we're gonna rise above
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, it's no use
Rise above, rise above, rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above

  3. V.... D....

    Thats me at 0:40 with the bald head

    V.... D....

    how does it feel knowing that the Misfits fan base now consists of stupid indie girls?

  4. O.... ....

    fucken wicked

  5. �.... �....

    ɢʟᴇɴɴ ♡ ʜᴇɴʀʏ ғᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ

  6. F.... D....

    This bass sound is amazing, it literally carries over the guitar

  7. C.... W....

    Awesome!My 2 favorite bands are The Misfits and The Nihilistics!

  8. D.... S....

    Best live ever

  9. w.... i....

    Which pixel is doyle wolfgang von frankenstein?, i wonder

  10. g.... ....

    T.... ....

  16. J.... M....

  17. M.... C....

    M.... C....

    jjajajakakka Simón somos fiend club brato

    M.... C....

    OMG!!! XD

  18. J.... .....

    back when punk used to be how you played not how you dressed

    J.... .....

    Title Fight?

    J.... .....

    I ment 2000s

    J.... .....

    tell that to black flag...

    J.... .....

    I think it was more about the attitude and the way bands presented themselves. A lot of influential punk bands didn't have great musicians technically, but the message they carried through their music was much more important.

    J.... .....

    the Misfits started that punk "lifestyle" by making punk mainstream! They're all show, it's not about how they played

  19. V.... ....

    Poor Glenn xD
    Amazing video

  20. T.... ....

  26. j.... ....

    They completely missed the 2nd half of the second verse. Awesome.

  27. a.... ....

    so fucking awesome

  28. f.... ....

    You don't see this stuff any more. Now, sadly it's just about who you know and what your about rather than the music.

  29. D.... ....

    Amen Scott M....I miss those simpler days (did i spell that right?)

  30. A.... ....

    Really? I can't hear his voice. where in particular does he have the tattoo printed

  31. N.... ....

    (Second verse)
    I ate 10 tacos I have to shit
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    clench my cheeks and try to sit
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    missed my stop I'm drunk again
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    Made it back home at quarter to 10

  32. N.... ....

    Tired! Lazy! Don't wanna walk
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    Sitting next to a bum on a bench
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    Colt 45 and ass what a stench
    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS
    At least it beats walking home

    (Chorus)
    We are tired don't need an excuse
    Try and move us it's no use




  33. A.... ....

    Danzig doing a cover Hmm this changes everything this means that HE LIKED BLACK FLAG!!! total mind-blower

  34. A.... d....

    ...but I can't see Danzig there...lol

  35. A.... d....

    this is awesome. It's the pure energy, human feeling...I feel good to watch it and remember the times I lived something like that...The people around is an extension of you. It's not only your voice going, it's all of you and the others, it's a fusion art!

  36. m.... ....

    You mean people who listen to music and go to concerts still have heart?

  37. f.... ....

    was this the gig at the Church in Cambridge, memory is fogging on that night, yet looks like it..

  38. x.... ....

    Fuckkk Chyeaaaah

  39. M.... R....

    .34 to .38 glenn looks confused

  40. K.... ....

    I saw a young Dave Smalley in the crowd. Pretty cool. Thanx for sharing.

  41. N.... M....

    @Beholdthesharktopus

    they all have crazy ass shows

  42. M.... ....

    it's too bad that Glenn wouldn't stand for that kinda stuff anymore, or Jerry. But when it comes to Jerry it's too bad period.

  43. B.... ....

    @Cooderospie Tell that to The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, The Chariot, and Terror.

  44. D.... P....

    can anybody testify to modern day misfit shows? they're coming near me

  45. x.... ....

    Damn. Everything about music rocked so much more back then.

  46. T.... ....

    I wish concerts were more like this one nowadays... sick :D

  47. K.... L....

    Apparently Rise above means
    Jump on danzig

  48. J.... Y....

    @peace6311 Im with you on that

  49. h.... ....

    good times

  50. s.... ....

    Correction, "Misfits", lol.

  51. s.... ....

    Indeed, at the later misfits concerts Doyle and Graves would give you a kick to the head if you so much as touched the stage, what a load of shit.

  52. M.... ....

    This looks like a fucking blast!

  53. g.... ....

    this is why i wish i was growing up as an angry teenager in the 80's. i would love to experience the power and energy of this in its prime.

  54. D.... G....

    @belsen89 #1 - no one asked #2 - if you can intellectualize this- you obviously dont get it and its not meant for you. move on and enjoy your life as and investment banker

  55. v.... ....

    this is crazy awesome

  56. b.... ....

    @Giveantake
    "most important record" is a matter of opinion, and how can you call me a "hipster" when i live in the middle of nowhere and i don't even know anybody who listens to black flag? please excuse me for having my own preferences

  57. d.... p....

    @belsen89 well your opinion sucks.

  58. b.... ....

    @Ramshaki
    because black flag is one of my favorite bands, and to me it's just sad that all most people seem to care about is their earlier work. honestly i think "damaged" sucks and is the worst piece of their discography, and this song is by far the worst on "damaged". the misfits are another one of my favorite bands, and it's cool to pay homage to another band but quite frankly, this just doesn't work for their style. it's just an opinion.

  59. d.... p....

    @belsen89 this is a great fucking song you fairy

  60. b.... ....

    and of course they have to cover the worst black flag song they ever wrote.......

  61. B.... 1....

    lol no girls like always in these concerts

  62. S.... M....

    I was 17 at the time and on the stage with all the other guys. This is the Channel in South Boston, long since bulldozed. Some of you debate far to much into the quality or importance of this band or this performance. This was just about being young and totally going off with no rules. We would street skate all day, go to all ages shows and have just go crazy for the fun of it. No politics, no bullshit. It just felt good to be young and tear it up.

  63. r.... ....

    @Cooderospie bullshit

  64. a.... ....

    @numberonemisfitsfan That's good man, gotta keep it up.

  65. R.... B....

    @amnm12 Im 13 an startedlike this type of music at 10 ....

  66. a.... ....

    @SymmetricPanda Because that's who mainly was into hardcore at the time 12 to 19 year olds. Unlike today's kids.

  67. S.... ....

    All those "punks" looked like they were twelve

  68. s.... s....

    @Bosc0nian hahaha!

  69. B.... ....

    RIDE THE BUS, WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE BUS!

  70. T.... ....

    who's singing in the cuts from the crypt version of this cover?

  71. s.... ....

    @fbick The church gig was the previous December. This was March, at the Channel in South Boston

  72. f.... ....

    @swampdaddy
    Pretty sure I was at that show(was the church in Cambridge square, if you have some footage I would be interested in checking it out...

  73. C.... N....

    this boston concert is intense, I have it on VHS bootlegged from some guy in Harvard Sq. from back in the day.

  74. o.... ....

    thats becuz it is

  75. p.... ....

    dam, the don't play em like that anymore!

  76. r.... ....

  77. Z.... B....

    Haha, it's 1:38 AM right now.

  78. C.... ....

  79. B.... R....

    i love how everyone swarms danzig during the the song and mess up the lyrics

  80. I.... ....

    wish I could be in a concert like that...that's what I want... not the barriers and security guards.

  81. k.... ....

    and Sex Pistols?

  82. j.... j....

    drop kick murphys charge fuckin 30 bucks for every fuckin show !!!

  83. s.... ....

    What's funny is, at the end of the song, just after this clip cuts out, Glen gives a little chuckle and says, "Well - that was pretty cool . . . ".

  84. s.... ....

    It's at the Channel

  85. r.... ....

    Glen! Where are you?! lmao fuckin classic. Excellent post.

  86. H.... ....

    The Misfits have Robo on drums and Dez Cadena on guitar... who are from Black Flag! I love both bands. Misfits with Danzig were amazing. This vid doesn't do them justice.

  87. m.... ....

    I can't see Dez ... but love this song like hell

  88. R.... ....

    and wow Jerry and Doyle are...small

  89. R.... ....

    haha 1:56, sounds like he says "Hey! He's got a hamburger!"

  90. R.... B....

    Fuck you this is as good as the Black Flag version
