Doctor Marten Dental Plan
Bound for Glory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey punk we finally meet as I come kick down your door
For years you've alluded me on the street,
With your face I'll wipe the floor
I'll bring you out from under your rock right into the light
And you can bring all you friends
'Cause Skinheads love to fight!

First you get indoctrinated from the left and the right

Feel my steel-capped thunder as it comes with all my might
Welcome to the Doctor Marten Dental Plan
An equal opportunity employer - Doctor Marten Dental Plan
New customers are always welcome with the Doctor Marten Dental Plan
You'll get service with a smile with the Doctor Marten Dental Plan

Looks like a splitting headache, bleeding from the core
Your eyes are swollen shut and your teeth are on the floor
Your senseless battle's over, why don't you give it up?
Tell me how the hell will you speak when your mouth is wired shut?

Put this in your head, you filthy leftist pricks:
Giving you a world of pain is how I get my kicks

So think about it next time you're shouting anarchy
Who the hell's gonna save you, gonna save you from me?

Overall Meaning

The song "Doctor Marten Dental Plan" by Bound for Glory is a classic punk rock song that serves as a warning to those who seek to promote anarchy and leftist ideologies. The lyrics describe a physical confrontation between the singer, who represents the skinhead movement, and the punk who has been opposing him for years. The skinhead threatens to wipe the floor with the punk's face and brings up his friends to escalate the fight. In the second verse, the skinhead uses violent imagery to describe the force he will exert on the punk. He boasts about the Doctor Marten Dental Plan, which is symbolized as his steel-capped boots, and invites new customers to experience his violent service with a smile.

The chorus serves as a hook, with a taunting and threatening tone. The punk is depicted as an injured victim with a wired shut mouth, while the skinhead remains unscathed. The last verse explicitly targets the leftist and anarchist ideologies, portraying them as a nuisance that deserves to be punished. The singer insinuates that hurting anti-fascist protesters gives him pleasure and that they should reconsider who they are fighting against.

Hey punk we finally meet as I come kick down your door
After months of avoidance by you, I have taken the initiative to kick down your door and confront you face to face

For years you've alluded me on the street,
I have been seeking you out for quite some time now, but you have always eluded me on the streets

With your face I'll wipe the floor
You’ll get beaten down so badly that I'll leave you lying on the floor, helpless

I'll bring you out from under your rock right into the light
I'll drag you out of your hiding spot and reveal your true self to the world

And you can bring all you friends
You are free to bring all of your friends to watch the spectacle of our fight

'Cause Skinheads love to fight!
Skinheads have a reputation for being fighters and will continue to uphold that reputation

First you get indoctrinated from the left and the right
You are bombarded with a lot of confusing and complex information from both the left and the right, which is why it is necessary to take drastic measures to set you straight

Feel my steel-capped thunder as it comes with all my might
You will feel the impact of my steel-capped boots with immense force and strength

Your senseless battle's over, why don't you give it up?
Your pointless fighting is over, so you might as well surrender

Who the hell's gonna save you, gonna save you from me?
No one will be able to save you from me and the brutal consequences that come with crossing me
