My Chemical Romance, "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
(2004)

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

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, but I can
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll 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?
And well I miss my mom
Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection
Or swing from a rope, if you dare
Oh, nobody knows all the trouble I've seen

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, but I can
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again

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 about to string this mother fucker on fire
Right now

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

Thanks, Ellie!
