Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on

I wouldn't front the scene if you payed me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to beleive

[Chorus]
So give me all you poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

Preach all you want, but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book that you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpeant sun
Beneath the mark of the scar that makes you run,
and run,
and run,
and run

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to beleive

[Chorus]
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to beleive

[Chorus x2]

So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

These are some of my favorite lyrics ever. I love this song, when I was waiting for the cd to come out I went online and this is the song I liked best before actually hearing it.

Hah! Azn, you are so right. See, I've had this ongoing debate with my girlfriend. Her favorite band is MCR and mine is Avenged Sevenfold. I've told her since the album came out that the intro to this song sounded like "Unholy Confessons", and of course she didn't agree. THANK YOU for the random, unbiased backing for my argument :)

OMG how pathetic... Saw MCR live yesterday, and it was cool. But they played a new song and the chorus was a rip off. Don't know what the song was called but the chorus was excatly like "last cristmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away" just with other lyrics. Me and 2 of my buddies just laughed and sang as loud as we could Last Christmas... and the crowd just looked at us and laughed cause they could as well hear what a total lame rip off MCR did. Totally 2 thumbs down.

I love this song. Its just too emotional. The way of saying 'thank you' is a sarcastic approach.

What's kind've ironic is that when I first head this song in Biology, (YES, my bio teacher plays music in class.), I thought it was Iron Maiden. Then I heard the first lines of singing and I realized; Holy Shit, this is My Chemical Romance. Funny thing is, Gerard lists Iron Maiden as an influence to the band in their biography on Yahoo. Anyways...this is just a beautiful and kick-ass song. End , Of, Story.
