Everybody pay attention to me
I got the answer
I got the answer
We'll rock it to ya with a capital G
So get your hands up
SO get your hands up

Ain't nobody gonna dance tonight
Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me
Saint peter come and save my soul
I've come to show you how we rock and roll
Come and see what sinks and floats
Jumping up because everybody knows

Wanna party?
Get on the dance floor
You wanna dance up on the catwalk
You do it alright
You got the answer
And all the good times will give you cancer

Alright, do it again
Or maybe kill ourselves then live again
With the lights off do it again
Cause it's always, always the same old trend

Blown away
How does it feel to be outclassed
So get your hands up, get your hands up
Right after me you want to pick up whats left
So play a 5th note, play a 5th note

Ain't nobody gonna take my life
Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me
Saint Peter come and save me now
Saint Peter gonna show you how
Everybody do the party theme
I'm gonna show you what we've got

Wanna party?
Get on the dance floor
You wanna dance up on the catwalk
You do it alright
You got the answer
And all the good times will give you cancer

Alright, do it again
Or maybe kill ourselves then live again
With the lights off do it again
Oh my god, oh my god it's the same old trend

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Alright, kill the party, kill the party tonight
We'll kill the party, kill the party tonight, lets go

Wanna party?
Get on the dance floor
You wanna dance up on the catwalk
You do it alright, i got the answer
You got a good time to get it, get it out

Wanna party?
Get on the dance floor
You wanna dance up on the catwalk
Alright do it again
When we kill ourselves we will live again
With the lights off do it again
Come on everybody get down
Till the party breaks down
Everybody get down
Till the party breaks down
Till the party breaks down tonight

    General Comment:This is one of the songs which was on the album which was supposed to be Danger Days but was scrapped because it wasn't to their standards.

    For those who didn't know, they've rewritten this song and called it Party Poison. It can be found on My Chemical Romance's most recent album Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, and the title comes from Gerard's alter ego on the album.

    The lyrics are now:
    Everybody pay attention to me
    I got the answer, I got the answer
    Street walking cheetah with a capitol G
    So get your hands up, now get your hands up

    Hide your eyes, we're gonna shine tonight
    Sub-atomic never get the best of me
    Ain't a DJ gonna save my soul?
    I sold it long ago for rock 'n roll
    Drop the needle when the tape deck blows
    I gotta shout this out so everybody knows

    This ain't a party
    Get off the dance floor
    You want the get down
    Here comes the gang war

    You're doing alright
    I got the answer
    'Cause all the good times
    They give you cancer

    If we were all like you in the end
    Oh, we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in
    So hit the lights I'll do it again
    And keep your cars and your dogs
    And your famous friends, well alright

    Slide up the faders when the cabinet slams
    And get your hands up, now get your hands up
    Light up the stage and watch me kick out the jams
    So throw your fist up, now throw your fist up

    Ain't nobody gonna take my life
    Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me
    Ain't a preacher gonna save me now
    Grab a seat, I'm gonna show you how
    Everybody hit the pyro cue
    We're gonna blow this off and show you what we do

    This ain't a party
    Get off the dance floor
    You want the get down
    Here comes the gang war

    You're doing alright
    I got the answer
    'Cause all the good times
    They give you cancer

    If we were all like you in the end
    Well, we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in
    So hit the lights I'll do it again
    So keep your cars and your dogs
    And your famous friends, well alright
    Well alright, well alright

    Alright
    We came to party, kill the party tonight
    We came to party, kill the party tonight
    Let's go

    This ain't a party
    Get off the dance floor
    You want the get down
    Here comes the gang war

    You're doing alright
    I got the answer
    'Cause all the good times
    Gimme, gimme good times people tonight

    This ain't a party
    Get off the dance floor
    You wanna get down
    Here comes the encore

    If we were all like you in the end
    Oh, we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in
    So hit the lights I'll do it again

    So everybody get down
    Till the party breaks down
    Now everybody get down
    Now everybody get down
    'Til the party breaks down tonight

    General Comment:I might be wrong, but I thought the lyrics to the chorus were:
    "This ain't a party,
    Get off the dancefloor,
    You wanna get down,
    I want a gang war."
    That's what NME says anyway! XD
    I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!!
    They'd better tell us the release date soon or I'll go mad!

    General Comment:I think listening to the studio version and reading this would help us, ey? xD
    Saw them playing this live on youtube and it sounded pretty good, though.

    And I'm pretty stoked about their next album. CAN'T WAIT. I REALLY wanna see them live, but I don't talk to my friends who also like them that much anymore because when high school rolled along, we went to different schools and sort of stopped talking. xP And I don't want to be alone. D:

    General Comment:I don't care for these lyrics...they just sound like some dance song =P

    But what I'm HOPING is that the "party" is a metaphor. Like they're saying you can do whatever you want, because we're all going to die anyway, so might as well go down happy anyway.
    So basically the message is, do whatever you want in life, as long as it makes you happy.

    General Comment:Oh my God, this shit is terrible. I honestly cannot say how disappointed I am in this band. For God's sake, they used to be so damned amazing. Their lyrics used to actually be meaningful, and all this is, is bullshit.

    I've loved them since their very beginning, but if this song is an example of what the rest of the album is... Then all I have to say is "what the fuck".
    Honestly. They've been working on this damned album for FOUR YEARS, and this shit is the best they can do?

    I can't believe this... -_-'
