[Intro]
Sha...

[Verse 1]
Well, you can hide a lot about yourself
But honey, what're you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin
But the past ain't through with you
'Cause we are all a bunch of liars
Tell me, baby, who do you wanna be?
And we are all about to sell it
'Cause it's tragic with a capital 'T'

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be!

[Chorus]
'Cause we all wanna party when the 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 bitter 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

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you scrape and sink so low
I'm shocked at what you're capable of
And if this is a coronation
I ain't feeling the love
'Cause we are all a bunch of animals
That never paid attention in school
So tell me all about your problems
I was killing before killing was cool

[Pre-Chorus]
You're so cool, you're so cool, so cool!

[Chorus]
'Cause we all wanna party when the 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 nine bitter 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 alive, you'll never take me alive
Do what it takes to survive, 'cause I'm still here
You'll never get me alive, you'll never take me alive
Do what it takes to survive, and I'm still here
You'll never take me alive, you'll never get me alive
Do what it takes to survive, and I'm still here
You'll never get me (Get me!) You'll never take me (Take me!)
You'll never get me alive!

[Chorus]
'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
And we all get together when we bury our friends
It's been ten fucking years since I've been seeing your
Face 'round here
And you're walking away and I will drown in the fear

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
