Album: You'll Rebel To Anything (2005)

License This Song 

• You don't mean it
  
  You need a uniform
  So you won't be ignored
  You are affected
  And so you're accepted
  
  It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
  So we don't have to hear about you bitchin and moanin
  You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin
  
  Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
  And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
  Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
  In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit
  
  You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
  You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
  You're telling me that fifty million fans are never wrong
  I'm telling you that fifty million fans are fucking morons Writer/s: JAMES EURINGER

• Katie from Canadagosh I love this song so much. I have a friend right now who posts s--t all the time about how they hate their life, they're irreplaceable, no one wants them blah blah blah and it's like not matter how much I try to help, they don't actually want help they just want the attention. I'm kind of done with it and this song perfectly displays my feelings. I'm not completely insensitive, i've been through my own s--t but there's a complete difference over wanting help and not wanting it and gosh at a certain point it just becomes pathetic
• George from MichiganI always thought that this song was specifically about My Chemical Romance (esp. The Black Parade album). Which is really funny since just after this MSI album, Lyn-z married Gerard Way.
• Mouse from Shawnee, OkThe thing I like about a lot of MSI songs is that they're pretty straight foreward. If the lyrics were posted it would be pretty self-explanatory. And some might say hypocritical even. It's hard to stand out in the sea of faces, if that's what you want. From what I've seen, the goal of any clique/ crowd is to express what's inside where everyone can see it (IE what you wear). And since sight is typically the first impression, that's how you know which people are 'like you'. "You need a uniform/so you won't be ignored" "You are infected/ so you're accepted" -- The rest of the angry bits of the song just seem to be Jimmy's expression of contempt for self-created drama.
• Jessica from Columbus, InI absolutely LOVE this song. The beat is fantastic. I'm in class at school right now so I can't say much right now. But I think that this song actually holds a point behind it. The lyrics are, in my opinion, perfect. I like they way they portray their meanings and thoughts in each of their songs. This one, though, is one of my favorites.
