Lyrics for You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In... as interpreted by Mike NJSS

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In... Lyrics
in the middle of a gunfight
in the center of a restaurant
they say come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer

-chorus:
now
but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can

too much too late
or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
:chorus-

they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmate's a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself
am i losing myself?

and well i miss my mom
will they give me the chair?
or lethal injection?
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen

-chorus-

to your room
what they ask of you
they make you want to see(?)
how long
well i dont remember
i remember
do you have the keys to the hotel?

life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man

Hey, I know you!!! Ha, Ha... I'm not normally like this, you know? Just super hyper, and super attention starved... AND, I don't have a life. And now that I've cleared that up, I think I'll take your comment as a compliment, and continue with my endless muttering... Thank you alter-ego, for commenting on my nuttiness... yeah...

These guys sold out.....

They pulled out of a small show titled "Rockfest" at Genesee Community College in upstate New York so they could rake in the big bucks and start thier european tour early......

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We're in the money!!!!


It'll only be a matter of time before everyone stops bitching about people saying they sold out..... and starts bitching about how they sold out....

"You know what they do to guys like us in prison? They cut yer F***ing balls off and flush 'em down the toilet"

-- The character Renton, in Trainspotting.
Certainly, that would be an adequate start for MCR.

This song actually means about prsion rape and the time Gerard Way was playing a Truth or Dare game and got dared to kissed Bert McCracken! This is true because Gerard said it on a interview.

Prison sex has almost nothing to do with homosexuality. I think this song does have some sexuality issues though, but please don't get them mixed in with the whole prison thing. Basically, this song mentions how gay men (typically seen as more effeminate) are more often raped in prison than heterosexuals. Not because the people in prison who rape men are gay, but because they're monsters. In fact, they're usually heterosexual, that's why they go after the more effeminate men. So yeah. Just thought I'd help clear things up.

I am taking this chance to finally vent my frustrations on how much I hate this website.
It displays to me how truly moronic people can be, and quite frankly, I'm embarassed to like the same bands as some of you. Mind you, I don't hate all of you, just those who impress your idiotic opinions upon us with an air of indignance. The rest of us are morons because we don't share the absolute opinion that it's fucking OBVIOUS that this beautiful song is about Gerard getting naked in prison or whatever and his foray into the world of pleasure beads or maybe it's a METERFORE for like jelly beans and maple syrup. It's not bad that you think these things - wait, who the fuck am i joking? It only shows your stupidity and mental inability to the entire world when you go and post it on the web though.
And such anger! I seriously can't believe that you're so delusional that you think that something so blatantly wrong is right. Quite frankly, I think that Gerard's various explanations of his witty lyricism is just to fuck with y'allses minds if you're too damn stupid to figure it out for yourself.
And quite honestly? Get a command of the english language or perhaps reach puberty before you come on here. At least try to make it coherent, or maybe a display of at least a little intelligence. If you don't understand terms like "in drag" or get the intelligent double entendre of "go down with my friends" then I seriously doubt you have the knowledge or the mental capacity to understand the sheer genius of these lyrics. It's all right if you like it, but don't post on here if you don't think you can illuminate something new for the rest of us peons. Even then, there's the question if you truly can or you are just cursed by the illusion of your intelligence. Enlighten yourself on Urbandictionary, or get a clue.
And then there's the petty display of who's a poser and who's not - I think music is for whoever wants to listen to it. And truly, I don't think we deserve titles from which bands we like - really, why is it that your band is better than ours? Is it just that you're a fascist fuck who NEEDS us to all like slipknot (who I think blow, but that's just because they have no skill and pretty much are so dang original they just blow my mind with their heavy metal skillz - oh yes they are so hxc), or are you just stupid?
I can't tell, that's why I'm asking.
And I like this band! And I have my own ideas about the lyrics! I am not what I would consider a poser, because I have nothing to pose for! I know what I'm talking about when I care to talk about music.
And I just spent way too much time on all of that.

And that's a fact.
