(Well alright!
What I want you to do for me, right now, is
Take your snappin' fingers and put 'em in the air, and
Now just like this, now just like this, now just like this

Let me hear you say, let me hear you say hey, let me hear you say. Here we go now.)

In the middle of a gunfight, in the center of a restaurant
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your
Faith in me
Your life will never be the same
On your mother's eyes, say a
Prayer, say a prayer

Now, but I can't
And I don't know how we're just two men as God had made us
Well, I can't, well, I can!
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again

They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups
In drag, but nobody cares
If you're losing yourself, am I losing myself?
Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope, if you dare?
And nobody knows
All the trouble I've seen

Now, but I can't
And I don't know how we're just two men as God had made us
Well, I can't, well, I can!
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again

To your room
What they ask of you might make you want
To say, "So long"
But, I don't remember, I remember

Hey, Niagara, have you guys seen Mike Kung-Fu lately? Because it has gotten totally awesome!

Yeah!

Life is!
Dream for the dead
And well I, I won't go down by myself
But I'll go down
(come on!)
Now, now (I can't explain), now, now (I can't complain)
Now, now, now, now, yeah!

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
