Tomorrow's Money
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Fell in love with a vampire
I was drawn to someone dangerous and powerful.

You wanna get it for free
You want something for nothing, without realizing the cost.

Then say hello to the brush fire, baby
Get ready to face the consequences and take the heat.

You gotta take it from me
I won't give it up without a fight.

I'm gonna take it from you
I will rise to the challenge and claim what's rightfully mine.

Say hello to the good times
Embrace the joys and pleasures of life.

And say hello to the sun
Enjoy the light and warmth of the world around you.

They're sitting back on an empire
Those in power are comfortable and secure, benefiting from the system they've created.

While the world lays back
The rest of us suffer and struggle, unwilling or unable to fight back.

Puts a kid behind that gun
Innocent children are forced to fight in senseless wars, becoming mere pawns in larger conflicts.

If we crash this time
If we fail or falter in our efforts.

They got machines to keep us alive
Those in power have the means to prolong their rule and maintain their control.

When the mix tape plays
When we're reminded of the music and culture that used to bring us together and inspire us.

Choke down the words with no meaning
We try to recapture the passion and energy of the past, but it feels empty and hollow.

I stopped bleeding three years ago
I've been able to heal and move on from past pain and trauma.

While you keep screaming for revolution
While others continue to demand change and fight for a better future.

Me and my surgeons and my street walking friends
I've surrounded myself with skilled and loyal allies who have helped me survive and thrive.

We got no heroes 'cause our heroes are dead
The icons and idols we used to admire and emulate are gone or no longer relevant.

Say hello to the program
Welcome to the system and bureaucracy that controls and monitors our lives.

We're gonna give it for free
They promise us something for nothing, but there's always a hidden cost.

Hook up the veins the antibodies
They try to inject us with their ideas and values, hoping to create immunity to dissent and rebellion.

Got it with the disease
We've been infected and consumed by their toxic culture and worldview.

We're gonna give it to you
They're determined to spread their influence and power as widely as possible.

Say goodbye to the good times
We have to let go of our past joys and pleasures if we want to achieve something greater.

You're loading up with the fame
They use the allure of wealth and celebrity to distract us from their true motives and objectives.

You're dressing up like a virus
They want us to become carriers and spreaders of their damaging ideology and behavior.

But the words get lost when we all look the same
Their messages and propaganda lose meaning and impact when we become homogenous and indistinguishable from one another.

While the army wives
The spouses and loved ones of military personnel who are forced to endure the hardships and tragedies of war.

Choke down the war with no meaning
They're forced to accept and endure the harsh realities of conflict that lacks clear purpose or justification.

Because rebellion ain't a t-shirt you sell
True rebellion and resistance can't be commodified or sold as merchandise.

You keep your money and I'll see you in hell
I don't need your money or your corrupt system - I'll remain true to my beliefs and principles, even if it means going to the depths of darkness and despair.
