“Merci pour le venin” which means Thank You For The Venom in French appears in the album sleeve of My Chemical Romance’s previous record, Bullets. Gerard Way stated that the song is a comment on music at the time as well, “a lot of fear mixed in with self-loathing”.
It is a message to critics that...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it or leave it, you can't understand a pretty face
But you do, so carry on, and on, and on
[Verse 1]
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me
On, and on, and on, and on
Love is the red, the rose on your coffin door
What's life like bleeding on the floor, the floor, the floor?
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never make me leave, I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your poison, and give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want, then fire at will
[Verse 2]
Preach all you want, but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of a serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one, and one, and one, and one
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never make me leave, I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your poison, and give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want, then fire at will
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never make me leave, I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something, give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need, give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your poison, and give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want, then fire at will
So give me all your poison, and give me all your pills (Fire at will)
And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill (Fire at will)
You're running after something that you'll never kill (Fire at will)
If this is what you want, then fire at will (Fire at will)

Thank You for the Venom was produced by Howard Benson.
My Chemical Romance released Thank You for the Venom on Tue Jun 08 2004.
Possibly- but I don’t believe so. Although this song was written during the climax of Gerard’s addiction, there isn’t a direct connection between the two.
