Misfit
thebandwithnoname Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna look good everywhere that I go
I wanna be the lead part in the chipK freakshow
I gotta have the best stuff just like everybody else
I don't wanna be another clone stacked up on the shelf
'Cos that sucks

Gotta get up gotta get on gotta get get get on the train
Gotta lose those nasty looks because ain't nobody the same
If ya want it ya gotta jump on it 'cos ya know we go a mighty long way
Get out ya box take off ya socks let me hear ya say

Don't keep puttin' us down
No messin' around
We're standin' our ground
We'll keep on makin' this noise
The girls and the boys
We're changin' this town

I gotta say the right thing to the right peeps
I wanna stand out in the crowd of the Jesus freaks
I gotta have kicks that look sweet on my feet
I wanna be a street preacher out on the high street
'Cos that rocks

Gotta get up gotta get on gotta get get get on the train
Gotta lose those nasty looks because ain't nobody the same
If ya want it ya gotta jump on it 'cos ya know we go a mighty long way
Get out ya box take off ya socks let me hear ya say

Don't keep puttin' us down
No messin' around
We're standin' our ground
We'll keep on makin' this noise
The girls and the boys
We're changin' this town

Don't keep puttin' us down
No messin' around
We're standin' our ground
We'll keep on makin' this noise
The girls and the boys
We're changin' this town

Fashion style black white shades of grey straight tight loose baggy belt
braces angry happy shiny faces thick thin hairy tall smiley pretty ugly
small old young miss hit lazy crazy misfit

Don't keep puttin' us down
No messin' around
We're standin' our ground
We'll keep on makin' this noise
The girls and the boys
We're changin' this town

Don't keep puttin' us down
No messin' around
We're standin' our ground
We'll keep on makin' this noise




The girls and the boys
We're changin' this town

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to thebandwithnoname's song Misfit express a desire to stand out and be unique, but also a frustration with the pressure to conform to societal expectations and fit into certain boxes. The singer wants to look good and be noticed, but not at the expense of losing their individuality. They want to be a leader in their own way and leave a mark on their community. The lyrics also touch on the idea of breaking down barriers and defying stereotypes, embracing being a "misfit" who doesn't fit neatly into any one category.


Throughout the song, the chorus reinforces the idea of standing up for oneself and not allowing others to bring them down or discourage them from being true to who they are. The repeated line "Don't keep puttin' us down" serves as a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt judged or marginalized for their differences. The song is ultimately a celebration of diversity and a call to embrace one's uniqueness rather than conforming to societal norms.
