[Verse 1]
Well, gather 'round, I'll tell you all a story
About heartache and woe
Well, he's always going on
About who he knows

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause we are all just drowning, man
I think your politics stink
And we are all just burning, man
Somebody buy me a drink, I think that I'm gonna get high

[Chorus]
Because we all want to party when a funeral ends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And we all get together when we bury our friends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's been ten bitter years since I've been seeing your face
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
You shared half the tears and I been dead in this place

[Verse 2]
Well, get someone's assistance to get downtown
You might get someone you know
Well she's always going on
About the town you grew up in

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause we are all just drowning, man
I think your politics stink
And we are all just burning, man
Somebody buy me a drink, I think I'd die for it!

[Chorus]
Because we all want to party when a funeral ends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And we all get together when we bury our friends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's been eight fucking years since I've been seeing your face
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And you're walking away, and I will die in this place

[Bridge]
You'll never take me alone, you'll never take me back home
I never want to go home with you, and still
You'll never get me alone, you'll never get me back home
I never want to go home with you, and still
You'll never get me alone, you'll never get me back home
You'll never grab me alive, right here, in this fucking place
I never want to go home, I never want to go home
I never want to leave

[Chorus]
Because we all want to party when a funeral ends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And we all get together when we bury our friends
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's been eight fucking years since I've been seeing your
Face 'round here
And you're walking away, and I will drown in the tears

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
