Blood
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Well they encourage your complete cooperation
The people in power want you to obey them fully without any objection

Send you roses when they think you need to smile
Those in power try to manipulate you with fake acts of kindness

I can't control myself because I don't know how,
The singer lacks self-control and doesn't know how to manage their impulses

And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while
The people around the artist accept and approve of their behavior, so they will continue being like this for some time

So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff
The people in power want the artist to sacrifice themselves completely and give everything they have, including their blood

Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough
The people in power will never be satisfied, and will always demand more from the singer

So give them blood, blood, blood
The singer is being commanded to give more of themselves, to the point of even shedding blood

Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood
The artist is warning the listener that there will be a lot of bloodshed and violence

A celebrated man amongst the gurneys
Despite being a patient in a hospital, the artist is being treated like a celebrity

They can fix me proper with a bit of luck
The doctors and nurses are able to cure the artist's physical problems with a bit of luck

The doctors and the nurses they adore me so,
The singer enjoys being cared for and admired by the medical staff

But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck (oh thank you)
The artist is aware that their behavior is terrible and offensive, even though the medical staff still likes them

I gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff,
The singer has already given everything they could to the people in power, including their blood

I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough
Despite the singer's sacrifices, the people in power still want more from them

I gave you blood, blood, blood,
The singer is reminding the people in power that they have already given them everything they had, especially their blood

I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love
The artist is acknowledging that even though they are a mess, the people in power still love and prefer them in that state
