  • Oh, oh
    Oh, oh

    And now this could be the last of all the rides we take
    So hold on tight and don't look back
    We don't care about the message or the rules they make
    We'll find you when the sun goes black

    And you want to live forever in the lights you make
    When we were young we used to say
    That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
    Now we are the kids from yesterday

    Oh, oh
    Oh, oh

    All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
    They only care if you can bleed
    Does the television make you feel the pills you ate?
    Or every person that you need to be

    'Cause you wanna live forever in the lights you make
    When we were young we used to say
    That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
    Now we are the kids from yesterday

    Today
    today
    We are the kids from yesterday
    Today
    today

    Here we are and we won't stop breathing (today)
    (Today) yell it out 'till your heart stops beating
    We are the kids from yesterday, today

    'Cause you wanna live forever in the lights you make
    When we were young we used to say
    That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
    Now we are the kids from yesterday

    Oh, oh
    We are the kids from yesterday
    Oh, oh
    We are the kids from yesterday
    Oh, oh
    We are the kids from yesterday
    Oh, oh
    Today, today Writer/s: FRANK IERO, GERARD WAY, MICHAEL WAY, RAY TORO

  • Jay from New YorkI feel like nobody understands how I feel about this band, but I don't care. I love them more than anything, they've saved me from suicide, they make me so happy, I love the fandom, I love their music, I love everything about them and I want to be just like them. I can't explain it, I really can't, but I'm so in love with this band and I hope that never changes.
  • Amanda from Florissant, CoThis is definitely my favorite song off the record. The second time I went to see MCR, they played it live and it was amazing :) So much feeling was put into the song.
