My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys, make some noise
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, 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, na, na, na (From mall security)
Na, na, na, na, na, na (To every enemy)
Na, na, na, na, na, na
We're on your property standing in V formation
Na, na, na, na, na, na (Let's blow an artery)
Na, na, na, na, na, na (Get plastic surgery)
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Keep your apology, give us more detonation
More, gimme more, gimme more
Oh, let me tell you about 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, na, na, na (You run the company)
Na, na, na, na, na, na (Fuck like a Kennedy)
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I think we'd rather be burning your information
Na, na, na, na, na, na (Let's blow an artery)
Na, na, na, na, na, na (Get plastic surgery)
Na, na, na, na, na, na
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 Juvie 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, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Make no apology)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (It's death or victory)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (On my authority)
Crash and burn, young and loaded
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Drop like a bullet shell)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Just like a sleeper cell)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I'd rather go to hell than be in a purgatory
Cut my hair, gag and bore me
Pull this pin, let this world explode
The lyrics to My Chemical Romance's song "Na Na Na" convey a sense of rebellion and urgency. The future is bulletproof, meaning that whatever happens in the future, the singer (presumably a member of the Killjoys) and their cause will continue on. The aftermath is secondary, indicating that the consequences of their actions are not as important as their mission. It's time to act now and make some noise, as the Killjoys fight against their enemies and their oppression.
The rest of the song is a mix of aggression, desire for drugs and love, and a need to detonate and cause destruction. The lines "kiss me, you animal" suggest a strong sexual tone, while the reference to "mall security" and "every enemy" indicate a desire to fight against authority figures. The lines "everybody wants to change the world, but no one wants to die" convey a strong sense of desperation and a willingness to sacrifice everything for their cause. The final lines, "cut my hair, gag and bore me, pull this pin, let this world explode," indicate a willingness to go to extreme lengths for their mission and to bring down the oppressive systems in place.
Overall, the lyrics to "Na Na Na" convey a sense of rebellion, urgency, and a willingness to fight against authority and oppression.

Ask angels made from neon

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
