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 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...
-
Gerard has a wife and a kid. Last time I checked that's not being gay. Why does it matter? I love gay people. But as for Bert, I don't know.
-
THIS IS NOT ABOUT RAPE!!!
GERARD IS NOT GAY! HE IS GETTING MARRIED TO A CHICK!
This song is about how prison is a bad place and he's rather not go. -
wow time goes by
gerards married and gots a baby girl
ray has a son and is married
franks married
mikey got a fiance
idk about bob
so for fun this song is about rape and being serious maybe about gee. so there not gay -
I not really sure the whole deep and touching part of the lyrics, but at one of the shows he said it was about being bad and going to prison for it..... don't quote me on it though........long live My Chemical Romance + miniG(bandit)

Please don't bug me if I'm wrong about this...
Someone told me that Gerard Way smokes... which causes cancer...
Tie it together.
Maybe it's about him knowing what's going to happen to him, and him saying, "That the hardest part of this is leaving you," meaning his loved ones. Even though he said "Know that I will never marry," and "I will not kiss you," which is probably what he would have done (or not done) if he realized what he was getting himself into.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, because I think about Gerard dying... No. That'll never happen. XD -
This song is not about Gerard Is gay.
It has a storyline of the two demolition lovers (Bonnie and Clyde characters) getting in a huge gunfight in the center of the restaurant with these western criminal people. I guess the lovers escape from the restaurant. The police shoots down the two lovers, and arrests the western criminal people that survived in the gunfight. The criminals go to prison and the song Is also about prison and how bad It Is.
Its a long song to understand, but you have to read the lyrics. -
CORRECTION!
Gerard wrote this song BEFORE going on tour! He met McCracken TOURING for Revenge! so no this has nothing to do with a mini bar, a drunken night, or a party in a hotel room.
NOW!
"This song is about being very, very bad, and going to jail, and getting fucked in the ass"
That is what Gerard says.
Obviously not about him directly MCR being notorious for heavy mediphors (Take Vampires for instance)
What isn't heavy in what Gerard said was
"Being very very bad" now us not knowing Gerard we don't know the exact occasion (my best guess just bad decisions)
bad decisions with consequences in the metaphor these consequences were "going to prison and getting fucked in the ass" don't think along those lines think more going someplace mentally and consequences to that mental place.
I could be completely wrong but I gave it a shot and now you know some facts -
Okay first of all this whole album is a conception album!
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is a conception album about 2 lovers that get stranded in the desert the girl is Helena and the man's name isn't mentioned. Okay so they get into a fight and he shoots Helena! Now to get her back because he didn't mean it and loves her desperately he makes a deal with the Devil that if he brings the souls of 1000 evil men he can have his beloved Helena back.
Now all you have to do is listen to the entire album and the story will make sense!.
Gerard said that (sorry I can't quote this) music has never told a REAL story before and he wanted to do that so Revenge is his if you ask me very comic booky version of that.
To clear the Gerard Way gay specualations he is Bisexual and did infact go with Bert Mccracken although they never reffered to it as dating but they were together.
But he is married now to Lyn-z and if you ask me no complaints... So yeah.
MCR is amazing btw. -
The song I think is this one person's story of getting arrested and everything they go through while in prison and the regret of being there.
-
It's about getting raped in prison, it happens every day.
-
This song is about what goes on in prison. It was a truth or dare thing that Gerard kissed Bert.
-
Well you're not a true MCR fan if you make jokes about their songs. NO ONE in MCR is GAY!! Heaven Help Us!!
I think that You Know What They Do... Is about an exploration of life, you know, MCR's life on the road. Its relevant to all the new bands coming out, like how they're all like wearing girlie pants and a crapload of makeup and long hair. You know how in prison, some guys are tough, but there is always one group of guys that band together and watch eachothers backs? well that's MCR.
