You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison Lyrics


You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
  • This song is about a man who is involved in a crime ("In the middle of a gunfight, in the center of a restaurant"). He believes that the police will be unable to catch him ("Well they're never gonna get me, I'm like a bullet through a flock of doves"), but he is arrested and sent to prison. The rest of the song refers to prison life: "Will they give me the chair or lethal injection or swing from a rope if you dare." This refers to the thoughts of the prisoner. The line, "What they ask of you will make you want to say 'so long"' refers to him contemplating suicide and may also refer to prison rape and other abuse.
  • Bert McCracken of The Used provides backup vocals during the second verse of the song.

    Released: 2004

    I Never Told You What I Do For A Living Lyrics


    I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
  • The album is a story of a man and a woman. They both die - the man goes to hell and the woman goes to heaven. The man then makes a deal with the Devil that if he brings 1000 evil souls to the Devil he can be with his wife again. As the last song on the album, this tells the conclusion of their story:
    "And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
    we'll love again, we'll laugh again
    and it's better off this way
    and never again, and never again
    they gave us two shots to the back of the head
    and we're all dead now."
  • This is the last song on the album, and it is his last night of killing before his deal with the devil will be completed and he can see his lover again, hence the lyrics, "Another night and I'll see you" because he is almost done collecting 1000 souls. All the killing that he has done has made him feel dirty and the "stain that won't come off the sheets" is referring to something that he'll never be able to forget. He thinks the devil has lied to him, and he didn't send him to his lover, but he feels that he should stop killing now as they'll eventually meet again in another life. The devil ruined his plans of being with his wife and metaphorically shot him twice in the back of the head, and now they're both dead.

    Helena Lyrics


    Helena
  • This song is partially about the death of lead singer Gerard Way's grandmother, Elena Lee Rush. She taught Gerard how to draw, paint and sing, and she gave him his first car - the white van that appears in the original "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" video. The song is dedicated to her, as is the CD. She is mainly who the part "Can you hear me? Are you near me?" is for. But this song also starts the concept of the CD. A man and a woman (Helena) die in a car crash ("When both our cars collide"), except the woman doesn't really die, the man only thinks she has. The man is sent to Hell. This song is a mourning for Helena's "death" by the man. He is wishing he could see her again and is giving his last goodbyes ("So long and goodnight").
  • Throughout the Warped Tour 2005, Gerard introduced this song as the most important song to himself and his band.
  • In an interview with the Florida Sun-Sentinel, Way explained that Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is a combination evil, devil-vampire story and sweet tribute to Grandma. The whole CD was to be about revenge and this guy coming back from hell to be reunited with his love, then Elena, Way's grandmother died, and they decided to add in tributes to her because he loved her dearly and she was the one who taught him everything he needs to know to have a good band (i.e. how to sing). He had no idea how it would work with the rest of the CD that was supposed to be a storyline on revenge. "I don't know if it fits," Way says, "but I know that's how we had to make the record. And it's one of those things you just hope works in the end. And actually, the record works so much more on a personal level not only for us but also for the people who listen to it.
  • In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream, there is a character named Helena who toward the plays' end falls into a deep sleep. This could coincide with the songs' refrain, "So long and Goodnight."
  • Before playing this song during their 2005 American tour, Gerard Way would tell the crowd to look up and say, "Hey Grandma! What's Up?"
