Misheard Lyrics: And though you're synagogue believers
Original Lyrics: And though you're cynical, believe me.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Yumei Really this is just a comment instead of a story, but I have to be one of the closest in misheard lyrics to the real lyrics. At least Synagogue sounds SOMETHING like cynical. I must say, I have never heard it as dead and gone or singing God or whatever. I've always heard it as synagogue. But yes. I used synagogue as an adjective xD. As a matter of fact, I am listening to it now and STILL hear it as synagogue instead of cynical but I heard believe me not believers. |

"Welcome to the Black Parade"
Better Lyrics:
When I was a young girl...erm I mean boy,
My father took me into the village,
to see the great plague.
He said son when you grow up,
would you be,
The saviour of the chicken,
The sauteed & the fried
He said wil you defeat them,
The plaguests & all the grim reapers
The plans that they have made
Becasue one day,
I'll leave you,
my fortune
of 39cents
to fight the great plague
My father took me into the village,
to see the great plague.
He said son when you grow up,
would you be,
The saviour of the chicken,
The sauteed & the fried
He said wil you defeat them,
The plaguests & all the grim reapers
The plans that they have made
Becasue one day,
I'll leave you,
my fortune
of 39cents
to fight the great plague
Original 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 saviour of the broken,
The beaten & the dammed.
He said will you, defeat them,
The demons & all the non believers,
The plans that they have made.
bacause one day,
I'll leave you,
a phantom,
to lead you in the summer,
& join the black parade.
My father took me into the city,
To see a marching band.
He said son when you grow up,
Would you be,
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten & the dammed.
He said will you, defeat them,
The demons & all the non believers,
The plans that they have made.
bacause one day,
I'll leave you,
a phantom,
to lead you in the summer,

"Desolation Row"
The Lyrics: They gonna bring 'em 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 Why: The song, I'm pretty sure, is about people condemned to death by the system. But you can't hear the lyrics, really, when you listen to the song--I actually kept it on loop while my anti-My Chemical Romance friend listened.

Crime Records:
"Cancelling a Show"
sometime in November, My Chem had to cancel a show at a university because Bob [Bryar, drums] was injured. The University sued My Chem for this, even though the law clearly states that if a musician has to cancel for illness or injury it's perfectly fine. My Chem paid the university, and offered to play again in the spring there, but the college turned them down stating "they won't let it happen again."
