You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]
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, yeah

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
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, yeah
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again

[Verse 2: Gerard Way with Bert McCracken]
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cellmate's​ a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself
Am I losing myself?

Well, I miss my mom! Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare?
Ah, nobody knows
All the trouble I've seen

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
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, yeah
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again

[Post-Chorus: Gerard Way]
To your room
What they ask of you will make you want to say, "So long"
Well, I don't remember
Why remember you?

[Bridge: Bert McCracken]
Do you have the keys to the hotel?
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! Fire!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Gerard Way]
Life is but a dream for the dead
And well I, I won't go down by myself
But I'll go down with my friends, yeah

[Outro: Gerard Way]
Now, now, now, now (I can't explain)
Now, now, now, (I can't complain)
Now, now, yeah, yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
