[Verse 1]
Yeah, well, I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be granting your permission
'Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well, I said hey, hallelujah
Well, come on, sing the praise
And let the spirit come on through you
We got innocence for days

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I think I'm gonna burn in Hell
Everybody burn the house right down

[Chorus]
And say what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man, kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave, yeah!

[Post-Chorus]
S-I-N, I S-I-N, S-I-N, I S-I-N...
S-I-N, I S-I-N, S-I-N, I S-I-N...

[Verse 2]
You play ring around the ambulance
Well, like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And I said ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I want to hear you sing the praise
I said ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I think I'm gonna burn in Hell
Everybody burn the house right down

[Chorus]
And say what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man, kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave, yeah!

[Bridge]
You better run like the devil
Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley
Cause they're never gonna find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls (Blood runs down the walls)
You see me creeping up these halls (Creeping up)
I've been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

[Chorus]
And I say, say what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man, kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So, get up! So, get out!
S-I-N, I S-I-N!

My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance is an alt/punk/hardcore rock band that produced four studio albums and a compilation album over their initial twelve-year lifespan from 2001-2013. They then went on a six-year hiatus, until Halloween of 2019, when they announced a long-awaited revival of the band. They have touched the hearts of millions through their honest, raw lyrics and inspirational stories.

The band started after front-man and founder Gerard Way witnessed the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. He felt compelled to empower people and make a difference in the world. As a result, he wrote the band’s first song, “Skylines And Turnstiles.” He shared the lyrics with his friend Matt Pelissier, who agreed to be the then-unnamed band’s drummer. Gerard then recruited Ray Toro, whom he used to be in a band with as the lead guitarist, and eventually invited his brother Mikey Way to be the bassist, and Frank Iero to be the rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, was released in 2002 and was recorded in Matt Pelissier’s attic. Because of this, some of the songs are lovingly referred to as the “attic demos.” The album’s copyright warning
