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!!

22 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Love the song, but..I'm a little concerned by it's popularity. I don't think a lot of our dear posters here understand what they "Do to guys like me in prison." Guys in jail get very, very lonely. Pretty guys who wear makeup and have soft skin do look an awful lot like women..and so said lonely guys, well. You get the picture. Of course, Gerard might like that kind of thing. Sorry ladies.

100 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Wow, most of the comments are about the bert/gerard pairing just because bert sang in the song. Wahaha...I only realized now how close those two lead singers are. But, do remember that this song is about guys in prison and the things they think about and how they feel. I like the way that MCR expressed this issue to the people. And I do agree that Gerard is hot.
