“Give ‘Em Hell, Kid” is a fast-paced track told from the perspective of the primary narrator’s lover. She is unaware that her companion has made a deal with the devil, and is missing his presence in her life.
According to Mikey and Gerard, they enjoy playing this song live more than any other.

[Intro]
Oh, baby, here comes the sound
[Verse 1]
Took a train outta New Orleans
And they shot me full of ephedrine
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene
Can we settle up the score?
[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
[Post-Chorus]
(You're beautiful)
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm a total wreck, and almost every day
Like the firing squad or the mess you made
Well, don't I look pretty walking down the street
In the best damn dress I own?
[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say
[Bridge]
Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care (Woah-oh)
Your dreams and your hopeless hair (Woah-oh)
We never wanted it to be this way for all our lives
Do you care at all?
[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say
[Outro]
What'd you call me?
Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy
Well, come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah
Give ’Em Hell, Kid was written by Matt Pelissier & Ray Toro & Frank Iero & Mikey Way & Gerard Way.
Give ’Em Hell, Kid was produced by Howard Benson.
My Chemical Romance released Give ’Em Hell, Kid on Tue Jun 08 2004.
Frank Iero is known for calling just about everybody, ‘kid.’ He was quoted saying:
You know, it is weird, but I refer to everybody as ‘kids’. It’s just something that I say. It’s like a term of endearment. When I say ‘kids’ or something like that, I don’t really have an age bracket set to that ter...
On certain versions of the song, including on Apple Music and the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge vinyl, Gerard says:
Check, check, brothers and sisters
Put your hands together, because I feel a war coming on
The devil knows where you live, and the devil knows where to find me
