F.T.W.W.W.
My Chemical Romance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They wanna grip the cross,
Make cavities,
Adjust because it purely is a crime
We full-on freak the cops, that causality
And break the walls of cryogenic slime

She said come on, come on, kiss my battery,
Come on, come on, I’ll be your android girl,
She said come on, come on, kiss my battery,
Come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world

Turn up the fakes and lies, just answer me,
You stare me down and take my only guise
They need the ones you got,
And laugh for me,
Destroy the council while your mother cries

She said come on, come on, kiss my battery,
Come on, come on, I’ll be your android girl,
She said come on, come on, lick that battery,
Come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world

We all gotta die,
but tonight we’d sell our skins to meet you right,
We all gotta try,

I’ll be red with another arms,
with another slide
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna go,
I don’t gotta know where I’m gonna die
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna go,
I don’t gotta know where I’m gonna die

Scratch them all,
Spit casually
A heart,
You got it in the one you need
I’m at a loss, because of tragedy,
For what you got I got the ones you need
She said come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world,
She said come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world
She said come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world
She said come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world
She said come, come on just spit causally,
Come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world




She said come, come on just spit causally,
Come on, come on and fuck this whole wide world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "F.T.W.W.W." by My Chemical Romance are a dark and provocative exploration of rebellion, lust, and destructive impulses. The first verse describes a desire to rebel against societal norms and reject the religious symbols that are imposed on us. The line "We full-on freak the cops" suggests a willingness to take on authority figures and break the law to achieve this goal. The second verse adds a layer of sexual exploration to the mix, with the android girl offering a kind of escape from the limitations of human bodies and relationships. The chorus reinforces the desire to break free from the constraints of the world, with the repeated invitation to "fuck this whole wide world" becoming almost a mantra.


Throughout the song, the lyrics are full of contradictions and ambiguity. The lines "Adjust because it purely is a crime" and "I’m at a loss, because of tragedy" suggest both a belief in the necessity of rebellion and a sense of discomfort or regret at the consequences that come with it. Similarly, the repeated references to dying suggest a desire for escape and transcendence, but are tempered with a sense of uncertainty and fear.


Overall, "F.T.W.W.W." is a complex and challenging song that defies easy interpretation. It is a testament to the band's ability to experiment with new sounds and ideas, while remaining true to their punk rock roots.

For those who aren't familiar with the context. In the Killjoys story, theres a band called The Mad Gear and Missile Kid. This is supposed to be one of their songs. 'Kiss my battery' is also an introspective reference to Red and Blue, two prostitute androids who live in battery city and play a major part in the Danger Days comics. Supposedly this is one of the songs that the Killjoys would listen to while driving in the trans am, no doubt through Dr.Death-Defyings radio station. That's nice to think about, like in some alternate universe, the Killjoys are listening to this at the same time we are 😊

4 years ago, this time of spring, my crush since childhood had the black parade pic as her iphone wallpaper. i commented on it, and she asked me what my favorite mcr song was. i told her it was FTWWW. she knew the song.
we got engaged in 2020.
i wish i could say honestly that the story ended here happily but it feels wrong to leave out the fact i’m writing this in memory of her.
she took her own life on august 26, 2020 and the world is so ugly now. but sometimes when i feel her spirit strongly, i come back to this same specific youtube video i shared a love of with her, and it soothes my soul for a moment.

I'm so sorry for your loss :( sending love
