Song lyrics

Send "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison" ringtones to your cell

In the middle of a gun fight
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 kiss your lips again

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] 

To your room
What they ask of you 
Will make you want to say, 'So long'
Well, I don't remember
Why remember you 

Do you have the keys to the hotel 
Cause I'm gonna string this motherf*cker on fire (fire)

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
Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!

333 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I quite like this song, though i cant say that i so much understand it (if anyone would like to explain the American Jail system to me, then by all means proseed!! What do they do to guys like him in prison??) MCR is awsome(well Gerard Way is. The other guys are okay but not nearly as hott ) Love the song, though I could do with out the screaming (it hurts my ears ) 33, Kaiori

333 posts	No offence ment, EnterMetal, but if you don't like My Chemical Romance, why would you want to post at all. If I hated them, then surely i would not waste my good time on them at all. All things said, I totally respect your opinion, and your right to voice it. I am just mearly curious. You are right, beach hawtie had no right to directly insult you, but i dont think that you should have called her an idiot. I find that the line between hate and love is quite thin. Where i first loathed My Chemical Romance beyond words, I now love them! Silly, isnt it? Anyway, I'm just trying to keep the peace... 33, Kay

7,341 posts	I post because the discussions are for those who like it and those who dont, it's an Opinion, you can post weather you like or dislike songs, just as can everyone else here, I just hate it when people say if you dont like this band your a dumbass, if you say that, than I consider you a close minded idiot, again, that's my opinion that I like to freely state.

3,869 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal wow, i didn't know bert sang in this song, no wonder it's become my favorite song on the cd .. that giggle gave it away though. whatever i'm totally in love with this song, and both mcr and the used are freakin rockin bands! (gerard and bert are hot, but not as much as quinn and frank!) yeah, ok i'm done!
