[Verse 1: Gerard Way]
Mama, we all go to hell
Mama, we all go to hell
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well
Mama, we all go to hell
Oh well, now, Mama, we're all gonna die
Mama, we're all gonna die
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
Mama, we're all gonna die

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh, so famous
We'll never let you go

[Post-Chorus: Gerard Way]
And when you go, don't return to me, my love

[Verse 2: Gerard Way]
Mama, we're all full of lies
Mama, we're meant for the flies
And right now, they're building a coffin your size
Mama, we're all full of lies

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]
Well, mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son
If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once
You should've been, I could have been a better son

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh, so famous
We'll never let you go

[Post-Chorus: Gerard Way]
She said, "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done, they're gonna find
A place for you and just you mind your manners when you go
And when you go, don't return to me, my love," that's right!

[Verse 3: Gerard Way]
Mama, we all go to hell
Mama, we all go to hell
It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell
Mama, we all go to hell (One, two, three, four!)

[Breakdown: Gerard Way]
Mama! Mama! Mama! Oh!
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma...

[Bridge: Liza Minelli & Gerard Way]
"And if you would call me a sweetheart
I'd maybe then sing you a song..."
But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun
You would cry out your eyes all along!

[Outro: Gerard Way]
We're damned, after all!
Through fortune and flame, we fall!
And if you can stay, then I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you call!
We all carry on (We all carry on!) when our
Brothers in arms are gone! (When our brothers in arms are gone!)
So raise your glass high, for tomorrow, we die
And return from the ashes you call!

[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
