Party Poison

My Chemical Romance · Danger Days- True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys [2010]

Yeah

Everybody pay attention to me

I got the answer

I got the answer

Street walking cheetah with a capital G

So get your hands up

Now get your hands up



Hide your eyes we're gonna shine tonight

Sub-atomic never get the best of me

Aint a DJ gonna save my soul

I sold it long ago for Rock 'n' Roll

Drop the needle when the tape deck blows

I gotta shout this out so everybody knows



This Ain't a party

Get off the dance floor

You want the getdown

Here comes the gang war

You're doin alright

I got the answer

'Cause all the good times

They give you cancer



If we were all like you in the end

Oh we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in

So hit the lights I'll do it again

And keep your cars, and your dogs and your famous friends



Slide up the faders when the cabinet slams

And get your hands up

Now get your hands up

Light the stage up and watch me kick out the jams

So throw your fist up

Now throw your fist up



Ain't nobody gonna take my life

Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me

Aint a preacher gonna save me now

Grab a seat I'm gonna show you how

Everybody hit the pyro cue

We're gonna blow this off and show you what to do



This Ain't a party

Get off the dance floor

You want the getdown

Here comes the gang war

You're doin it alright

You got the answer

'Cause all the good times

They give you cancer



If we were all like you in the end

Oh we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in

So hit the lights I'll do it again

So keep your cars and your dogs and your famous friends



We came to party

Kill the party tonight

We came to party

Kill the party tonight

Let's go!



This ain't a party

Get off the dance floor

You want the get down

Here comes the gang war

You're doin alright

I got the answer

'Cause all the good times

Gimme gimme good times people tonight



This aint a party

Get off the dance floor

You wanna get down

Here comes the encore



If we're all like you in the end

Oh we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in

Hit the lights I'll do it again



So everybody get down (everybody get down)

Til the party breaks down (till the party breaks down)

Everybody get down (everybody get down)

Til the party breaks down

Tll the party breaks down tonight

About Party Poison

"Party Poison" is a high-energy track from My Chemical Romance's 2010 album *Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys*. As the opening song, it sets a frantic, industrial tone that defines the record's chaotic aesthetic. The song blends punk rock aggression with electronic elements, featuring the band's signature distorted guitars and driving basslines. It serves as a sonic representation of the album's themes of societal collapse and dystopian anxiety. Released during the height of the band's mainstream success, the track exemplifies their ability to merge melodic sensibilities with aggressive soundscapes. While often associated with the darker, more theatrical works of their previous era, "Party Poison" introduces a sharper, more urgent edge. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing their evolution as songwriters and producers while maintaining the emotional intensity that made them a defining act of the 2000s alternative rock scene.
