Song lyrics
Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama, we all go to hell.

Oh, well, now,
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry,
Mama, we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama, we're all full of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size,
Mama, we're all full of lies.

Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl,
I should've been a better son.
If you could coddle the infection
They can amputate at once.
You should've been,
I could have been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.

She said: "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done they're gonna find
A place for you
And just you mind your manners when you go.
And when you go, don't return to me, my love."
That's right.

Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
It's really quite pleasant
Except for the smell,
Mama, we all go to hell.

2 - 3 - 4
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ohhh!
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma...

[Liza Minelli:] And if you would call me your sweetheart,
I'd maybe then sing you a song

[Gerard Way:] But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.

We're damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
To return from the ashes you call.

We all carry on (We all carry on)
When our brothers in arms are gone (When our brothers in arms are gone)
So raise your glass high
For tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you call.

What is with that fake accent Gerard is using in this song? It sounds absolutely horrible!
Now with this song, they're trying to be "weird" again...
It doesn't sound "weird" in a cool way though, it just sounds stupid.
It's sounds like a song from a broadway soap opera by "wannabee weird" third graders.

By far the worst part of this song is the vocals.
You really don't hear Gerard's real voice, which is clear and amazingly shown in the first two albums.

Also, the way it is presented and played clearly makes them seem like a self-obsessed band that's desparately trying to be liked by a nonexistant crowd of people.

i really really love this song. it is probably my favorite on this album. but this CD i just feel like they are just making music now rather than helping people. but yeah this song would be a frickin awesome video if tim burton directed it. and if they made clay MCR figures. hahaha maybe not. but i love the part in the middle where he goes "2-3-4" and the music gets a different beat it is SO awesome. this song rocks! so does MCR! and this isnt their best song EVER. i think cemetery drive is, but this one is right up there. haha. yeah i do get the whole animated-tim burton-movie feel from this song. i love it. 333333 YAY! MCR!!!!!
[offtopic] why does everyone find it weird that i think ray is hot??? he is!!!

this is the best song of all of their songs.
well i think it is at least.
MCR is my favorite band of all time.
they've always had great music, but out of all of their many songs, i love this one the most.
the rest of the songs on the cd are great too though!


I LOVE MCR!!

Great, great song.
The first time I heard this, I was basically like, "Wtf is this crap?" But after I listened to it for a while, I really got to like it. Especially the mallets during some of the verses and the way it changes tracks after she says "I'd maybe then sing you a song."
Not one of my favorites, but it's close!

Oh, and I'm pretty sure they do some AMAZING stuff with the guitar in this song. I also enjoy the little "Pinck" at the end of the song. Kinda humorous to me atleast. LOVE IT!

So when I first heard this song I was thinking, wtf is this crap? BUT I gave it a few goes and finally decided that I liked it. Better yet, it's one of my favorite songs on this album... if its humanly possible to pick a favorite off of this album. Love all the different songs and the lyrics.

MCR is one of the best bands ever in my opinion. I'm sooo glad this album is epic!

I just love this song! It's so.. multy dimensional, as in has a great variety of melodies, rhythm and such... Actually I think this is my favorite song from the new album, but that's just me of curse.
Uhm, in reply to reaction (1):
I realy loved your analasys of the song. Although it's not a poet I'd like to hear a more specific analasys as in - focus on the words, the lining, the chose of "using" Liza Minelli instead of Gerard's voice "(except for being cool) and furthermore...
Then again I know this is "just" a song and not a poet, and 99% that when they wrote the song they didn't think of anything you're going to say (if you have any intentions of replying me that is..) but still I realy am curious to hear (well more like see..) more...
So I hope to see a reaction from you a.s.a.p.
Thanks in Advance Bears'Autonamy.

My favorite song from the new album. Reminiscent of Pink Floyd's "Mother," although both have very different messages.

The Patient is writing a letter to his estranged mother. Quite apparent, it was a bitter relationship. This is where the Great War comes into play, perhaps explaining the loss of his father, and why he has become bitter towards more than a few people. Then again, we could always have another Phineas Gage on our hands.
The mother is willing to forgive him, but the tumultuous relationship is beyond repair. Especially is she knew the truth about what he has done.
