[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...

[Verse 1]
Well now, this could be the last of all the rides we take
So, hold on tight and don't look back
We don't care about the message or the rules they make
I'll find you when the sun goes black

[Chorus]
And you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...

[Verse 2]
All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
They only care if you can bleed
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate
Or every person that you need to be?

[Chorus]
Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday...

[Bridge]
Today! Today! We are the kids from yesterday... today, today!
Here we are and we won't stop breathing (Today! Today!)
Yell it out, 'til your heart stops beating (Today!)
We are the kids from yesterday! Today!

[Chorus]
Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday...

[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) Today, today...

[Instrumental Outro]

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
