Lyrics:

When I was
A young boy,
My father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The savior of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you
Defeat them,
You demons,
And all the non believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom
To lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."

When I was,
A young boy
My father, took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up,
will you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
Went through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll carry on, We'll carry on
And though you're all dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout out loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call

To carry on

We'll carry on,
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh

disappointed faces of your peers
Oh oh oh
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all
Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Come and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
I won't explain, or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer, for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this song
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
I
Don't
Care!

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Come and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
We'll carry on

Lyrics:

Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away
If we could run away,
Run away from here

I got a bulletproof heart
She got a hollow point smile
Me and your runaway scars,
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile.

Let's blow a hole in this town
And do the talking with a laser blase
Gunnin' out of this place
In a bullet's embrace
Then we'll do it again.

How can they say, Jenny could you come back home?
'Cause everybody knows you don't
Ever wanna come back, let me be the one to save you.

Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be.
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
When we would run away,
When we could run away, run away from here.

I'm shootin' out of this room
Because I sure don't like the company
You stop your preaching right there
'Cause I really don't care
And I'll do it again.
So get me out of my head.
'Cause it's getting kind of cramped, you know.
Coming ready or not
When the motor gets hot
We can do it again.

The papers say, Johnny won't you come back home?
'Cause everybody knows you don't want to give up yourself
Then tell the truth and God will save you

Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away,
If we could run away, run away from here.

And though I know how much you hate this
Are you gonna be the one to save us
From the black and hopeless feeling
Will you mean it when the end comes reeling?

Hold your heart into this darkness
Will it ever be the light to shine you out
Or fail and leave you stranded
I ain't gonna be the one left standing
You ain't gonna be the one left standing
We ain't gonna be the ones left standing

Gravity don't mean too much to me
Is this our destiny?
This world is after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away, run away, run away,
Run away from here.
Yeah, away from here.
Away from here.

Lyrics:

They’re selling postcards of the hanging
Well, they’re painting the passports brown
And the beauty parlor’s filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Oh now look here comes the blind commissioner
Well, they’ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other’s in his pants

And the riot squad they’re restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row

Oh Cinderella, she seems so easy
“Well, it takes one to know one,” she smiles
And she puts her hands in her back pockets
Oh Bette Davis style
And now but here comes Romeo, moaning
“You Belong to Me I Believe”
And then someone says,”You’re in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave”

And then the only sound that’s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row

Yeah

Now at midnight all the agents
And superhuman crew
Go out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do (knows more than they do)
They’re gonna bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene

Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that no one is escaping
To Desolation Row

‘Cause right now I can’t read too good
Don’t send me no letters no
Not unless you’re gonna mail them
From Desolation Row

Lyrics:

Drugs! Gimme me drugs Gimme me drugs,
I don't need it but still what you got,
still take the cash and I'll keep it.
Eight legs to the wall, hit the gas at the mall
Every crawl, every crawl, every crawl, now hit that detonator.

Love, gimme me love, gimme me love,
I don't need it but I'll take what I want from your heart
and keep it in a bag in a box on the floor with an X,
gimme me more, gimme me more

Now sing it with me:
For my security, to every enemy,
we're on your property standing in a V-formation
let's do it properly, plastic surgery, we're not an apology
get us more, give us your detonation.

Let me tell you about the Snagman,
shut up and let me see your jazz hands,
or remember when you were a madman, thought you were Batman,
and hit the party with a gas can.
Let me see you run it more.

We're on your property,
We're a public enemy,
I think we better find more, burden your information.
Let's pull the lottery,
it's like plastic surgery
we won't giva an apology,
Give us more detonation!

Spoken:
And right here, right now,
All the way in Battery City,
the little children, raise your open filthy palms like tiny daggers up to heaven
And all the you guys, and the river rats,
as angels made from neon eating garbage are screaming out
"why don't you save us?"
and the sky opened up
Everybody wants to change the world, everybody wants to change the world.
But no one wants to die, wanna die?

Make no apology
this is way to fun to me
I'm not your authority
Crash and burn,
We're young and loaded,
Drop like a bulletshell,
just like a sleeper cell,
I'd rather go to hell than be in a purgatory,
cut my hair
gag and bore me.
pull this pin,
and let this world explode
