We Are 138 Lyrics
WHAT?!?!?!? You DON'T know?!?!?!? GEEEEEEEEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the number 138 is from george lucas's first film thx-1138 mentioned above and its basically the number given to human beings from my understandin......i've never seen the movie so not entirely sure but the misfits originally told people when they were asked about the number"what you don't know what 138 means?" kinda as a joke.....but eventually glen started tellin people he got the number from some old science fiction book and that it was the name of the main character but from what i hear the character in the named book doesn't exist...i guess it was another joke of sorts.... so sumone confronted one of the other misfits i....'m guessin jerry not entirely sure here eitehr...... he said it was from the movie thx-1138 and that it wasn't from a book or police code for anything or 69x2
I don't think Police codes are the same in every city.
In the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"(basis for Bladerunner), people dial in their moods using a machine. So you might dial yourself in as 114 or whatever, and then you feel a certain mood,like anger or despair or happiness. I am guessing Danzig made up his own mood "138" and the song is a reference to this and of course, the androids who play major roles in the book. In the eyes of science makes more sense that eyes of tiger and if you listen closely it does sound like science.
we are 138- its from some old robot horror movie
@kinbackhimself I once had a man try to "mansplain" Misfits music to me. Little did he know, I've been listening to them since I was 17, some of their songs are based on horror movies, Glenn also does horror comics. I agree with your comment.

138 has nothing to do with police code.... different police units have different code. precincts are actually starting to ditch radio code so other units can understand them
Poison Pale is right. It's from an idea of the film THX-1138. That is the sign of a person in a future world who has a number and not a name. Go watch the movie, it's quite good. Since THX-1138 would be to hard to sing, they shortened it to 138. Poison is exactly correct in this case. I also believe that Glenn was just pissed about it.
i dont know what it means but this is a great song anyways, it could mean we are dead...
I love your name, great song. "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" is one of my Favorites.

Hm..If I remember right, the Police Code 138 is the code for grave robbing..I think..108 is for murder I think..but, uh yeah. I love the Misfits. Let's all thank my brother for raising me listening to these guys! (also, Graves can lick my ass.)
@KattHikarioftheTurks I thought 187 was the police code for murder.

I don't mean to be a smarty-pants, but 187 is a murder/death/kill, not 138 or 108.
187 is the code for murder. but i guess it depends on the state.
