This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Don't the Misfits also need to "go out and kill tonight"?

I think it qualifies. He doesn't explicitly state that he wants to go out and kill tonight, but he does ask for his mommy's permission to do so, which signifies want.

However, from the lyrics, it appears that he is only fulfilling his mommy's wishes, and not necessarily what he personally wants. It's complicated.

Singled out the kids who are mean to me
Get straight as but they still make fun
I don't give a, I'll laugh last

Stayed in every night
Do my homework so I'll be smart
Girls all say I'm a little fucked

Mommy I'm a good boy
Mommy I'm a fuckin savior
Mommy I'm alive

Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight

Rip the veins from human necks
Until they're wet with life
Razor-blades love teenage flesh
An epidermoty
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommys dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Killed a girl on lovers lane
I kept her toes and teeth
Every night I stalk around until I find my keep
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight
Kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight
Kill tonight, kill tonight
