[Verse 1]
Well, you gonna live your life in misery
And the angels all despair
They know all the times you whittled down
The halo 'round your head
And I said hey, hey, how you doing?
The others are to blame
And the angels gather 'round you
And brought us all to say

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna see you burn in hell
And I don't wanna pay respect

[Chorus]
And hey, what I want to say
And suffer all the angels, this purifying flame
Darling, I'm a bad man, make me play the game
We knew from the get go, we were all to blame

[Verse 2]
Ring around the ambulance
Like I never gave a care
Cause ashes are to ashes
And we fall down all again
And I said, hey now hallelujah
Sing the praise again
They'll hunt us down "Well, is it hot in here?
Or is it just me all again?"

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna see you burn in hell
And I don't wanna see you burn in hell

[Chorus]
And hey, what I want to say
What if all the angels could get into my game
What if I'm that bad man, purifying flame
Punish all the sinners running from the end?

[Bridge]
You could bitch all you want
But I'm never gonna leave you alone
And you can hide up in that attic
But I'm always gonna find you at home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
And I'm a bad motherfucker
An abandoned mental lover
Go

[Chorus]
I said hey, what I want to say
Suffer all the angels, take my life again
Maybe if the bad man killed me once again
Punish all my sins and take my life again

[Outro]
What I wanna say, what I wanna say
What I wanna say, what I wanna say
What I wanna say, what I wanna say
What I wanna say, is you're sorry, oh yeah, completely, sorry

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
