Look Alive
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One oh nine in the sky but the pigs won't quit
You're here with me, Dr. Death Defying
I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter
Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you alive
A system failure for the masses, empty matter for the master plan
Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny
All you crash queens and motor babies
Listen up
The song "Look Alive, Sunshine" by My Chemical Romance is a fast-paced, energetic track that is the opening of their concept album "Danger Days." The lyrics center around a post-apocalyptic narrative, where the world is in chaos and the only hope for survival is rebellion and revolution. The opening verse sets the tone, with the lines "Look alive, Sunshine/One-oh-nine in the sky but the pigs won't quit" presenting a sense of urgency and a feeling of being constantly watched or chased.
The chorus, "The future is bulletproof/The aftermath is secondary/It's time to do it now and do it loud/Killjoys, make some noise" is a rallying cry for the "Killjoys," the rebels fighting against the oppressive forces of the world. The line "The future is bulletproof" indicates that the Killjoys believe they will succeed and create a better future, even if they won't make it through. The phrase "Make some noise" is a call to action, urging the listener to join the fight and make their voice heard.
The overall imagery of the song is very vivid and cinematic. The band encourages the listener to imagine themselves as a part of this world, fighting for their survival against all odds. With its driving beat, catchy chorus, and memorable lyrics, "Look Alive, Sunshine" serves as a powerful introduction to the world of "Danger Days."

Everyone, pay attention! What I'm about to say is important and urgent.
The future is bulletproof
No matter what happens, no matter how much violence or danger we face, the future will survive and be unbreakable.
The aftermath is secondary
What happens after the main event is not as important as the event itself, so let's focus on making the most of this moment we have now.
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Let's take action and be heard! We have the power and the energy, so let's use it to create change and make a statement.
Killjoys, make some noise
For all the rebels and nonconformists out there, let's make our voices heard and disrupt the status quo!

Correct Lyrics:
The future is bulletproof
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys
Make some noise
(Na na na...)
Drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs
I don't need it, but I'll sell what you got
Take the cash and I'll keep it
Eight legs to the wall
Hit the gas, kill them all
And we crawl, and we crawl, and we crawl
You be my detonator
Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me
(Na na na...)
From mall security
To every enemy
We're on your property
Standing in V formation
(Na na na...)
Let's blow an artery
Eat plastic surgery
Keep your apology
Give us more detonation
(More! Gimme more! Gimme more!)
Oh, let me tell you 'bout the sad man
Shut up and let me see your jazz hands
Remember when you were a madman
Thought you was Batman
And hit the party with a gas can
Kiss me you animal
(Na na na...)
You run the company
Fuck like a Kennedy
I think we'd rather be
Burning your information
(Na na na...)
Let's blow an artery
Eat plastic surgery
Keep your apology
Give us more detonation
And right here
Right now
All the way in Battery City
The little children
Raise their open filthy palms
Like tiny daggers up to heaven
And all the juvee halls
And the Ritalin rats
Ask angels made from neon
And fucking garbage
Scream out, "What will save us?"
And the sky opened up
Everybody wants to change the world
Everybody wants to change the world
But no one, no one wants to die
Wanna try, wanna try, wanna try
Wanna try, wanna try, now
I'll be your detonator
(Na na na...)
Make no apology
It's death or victory
On my authority
Crash and burn
Young and loaded
Drop like a bullet shell
Dress like a sleeper cell
I'd rather go to hell
Than be in purgatory
Cut my hair
Gag and bore me
Pull this pin
Let this world explode

At five I listened to Lady Gaga.
I don't know how my parents let me listen to her, but they did
"This album is labeled explicit, delete it off of your playlist"
Remember that Katy Perry album we bought when I was younger?
That's explicit.
Maroon 5? (I honestly have nothing against Maroon 5, but they listen to them and so do I.
That's explicit too.
Lady Gaga?
Guess what? That's explicit too.
If you want to keep me from songs with language, you're going to have a tough time finding something.

Oh, I thought the Danger Days comics had been made into an anime lol. That would be cool. And I mean with Umbrella Academy being so successful, I could see Netflix doing that. Tho, probably an American cartoon, not anime.
