APPENDAGE #5: My Secret Public Journal, Entry #023: Party Poison

"Party Poison" by My Chemical Romance

Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison.
The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

It may be doubtful, at first, whether a person is an enemy or friend.
Meat, if not properly digested, becomes poison;
But poison, if used rightly, may turn medicinal.

If you prick us do we not bleed?
If you tickle us do we not laugh?
If you poison us do we not die?
And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?

...fuck yeah we do.

You may have started this...
but WE intend to finish it.

Everybody pay attention to me
I got the answer
I got the answer
Street walking cheetah with a capital G
So get your hands up
Now get your hands up

Hide your eyes we're gonna shine tonight
Sub-atomic never get the best of me

Drop the needle when the tape deck blows
I gotta shout this out so everybody knows

This ain't a party
Get off the dance floor
You want the getdown
Here comes the gang war
You're doin' alright
I got the answer
'Cause all the good times
They give you cancer

If we were all like you in the end
Oh we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in
So hit the lights I'll do it again
And keep your cars, and your dogs
and your famous friends
Well alright

It's amazing how much of this I've done by myself, yet I haven't been alone at all. I should have just opened my eyes and looked around and realized that I wasn't in this alone. The band is tighter than ever, and we're not here to fuck around.

Ain't nobody gonna take my life
Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me
Ain't a preacher gonna save me now
Grab a seat I'm gonna show you how
Everybody hit the pyro cue
We're gonna blow this off
and show you what we do

This ain't a party
Get off the dance floor
You want the getdown
Here comes the gang war
You're doin' alright
I got the answer
'Cause all the good times
They give you cancer

If we were all like you in the end
Oh we'd be killing ourselves
by sleeping in
So hit the lights
I'll do it again
So keep your cars and your dogs
and your famous friends
Well Alright,
Well Alright,
Well Alright!
Oh-oh-oh well alright

We came to party
Kill the party tonight
We came to party
Kill the party tonight
Let's go!

You see the playing field is a little more even now, and it seems as if we've each picked sides. So if you wanna go, we're waiting for you...

This ain't a party
Get off the dance floor
You want the get down
Here comes the gang war
You're doin' alright
I got the answer
'Cause all the good times
Gimme gimme good times people tonight

This ain't a party
Get off the dance floor
You wanna get down
Here comes the encore

If we were all like you in the end
Oh we'd be killing ourselves
by sleeping in
So hit the lights
I'll do it again

So when the party gets out
Till the party breaks down
Now everybody get down
Now everybody get down
Till the party breaks down tonight

we don't fuck around...
