Side A from the first Conventional Weapons release. The title is a play on British band Joy Division, tying emo from 2013 to post-punk from the 80’s.
According to frontman Gerard Way’s Twitter, this song was originally titled “Tokyo Death Squad.”
[Verse 1]
If all my enemies threw a party, would you light the candles?
Would you drink the wine while watching television?
Watch the animals and all the tragedies
Sell your arteries and buy my casket gown
(Well) It better be black, (Well) it better be tight
(Well) It better be just my size
I'm stalking these metro malls and airport halls
And all these schoolgirls
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not asking, you're not telling
He's not dead, he only looks that way
[Chorus]
Out nowhere, take me out there
Far away and save me from my
Self-destruction, hopeless for ya
Sing a song for California
[Verse 2]
I buy my enemies rope to hang me and the knives to gang me
You can watch them stab me on your television
Stalk the halls because the bathroom walls
Would have a lot to say about the lines you're putting down
(Well) It better be white, (Well) it better be cut
(Well) It better be just my size (Well)
Until my capillaries burst of boredom
I'll be waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not laughing, you're not joking
I'm not dead, I only dress that way
[Chorus]
Out nowhere, take me out there
Far away and save me from my
Self-destruction, hopeless for ya
Sing a song for California
[Post-Chorus]
Wherever you are, wherever you are
Whoever you are, whoever you are, la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
'Cause we got the bomb, we got the bomb, let's go
We got the bomb, we got the bomb, let's go
We got the bomb, we got the bomb, let's go
We got the bomb, we got the bomb, let's go
[Chorus]
Way out nowhere, take me out there
Far away and save me from my
Self-destruction, hopeless for ya
Say a prayer for California
[Outro]
We got the bomb
We got the bomb
We got the bomb
We got the bomb
