My Chemical Romance: You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison Meaning

You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison Lyrics

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
I'm like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage
This war against your faith in me
Your life will never...

   "Prisons" about having sex with men, Gerard(MCR) and Bert(The Used) in prison. FYI Gerard and Bert didn't do it and Gerard hasn't been to prison.

   I know the song is about prison rape, obviously. I mean Gerard even said so in his interview on launch. But it does kind of seem like there is more to it than that. Really though, the only ones who will ever know what the song is really about are the band.
   
   I dont know who in the band is gay. But that's kind of the idea, isn't it? They go out of their way to keep us guessing. Because you're supposed to like them for the music, and the ideas, not because you want to fuck them. And besides, I think one of the main ideas they are trying to get across is that a person's sexuality doesn't matter.

   To the one who said "if Gerard is gay, why wouldn't he have liked that": This is rape. Rape isn't a *pleasant* thing - in fact probably one the most horrible things - it is considered torture. I think your comment is very very immature.

   Gerard's not gay and he's not dating Bert.

   This song is about gay sex and prison rape. Even though Gerard is not gay, one of the band members is, the one who wrote this song.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   This song is about prison rape, plain and simple.

   This song is about how Gerard hated prison. He was so horrified by most of the things that went on. However, there is the mystery of one subject. Gerard is supposedly gay, and in fact is dating the lead singer from The Used. But if Gerard is gay, doesn't that mean that he would have liked the activities that went on in those prison cells? Just saying. No offense to Gerard at all.
