Kill All Your Friends

My Chemical Romance · Live and Rare [LIVE] [2007]

Well you can hide a lot about yourself

But honey, what are you gonna do?

And you can sleep in a coffin

But the past ain't through with you



'Cause we are all a bunch of liars

Tell me baby who do you wanna be?

And we are all about to sell it

'Cause its tragic with a capital T



Let it be,

let it be,

let it be!



'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

And we all get together when we bury our friends

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

It's been eight bitter years since I've been seeing you face

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

And you're walking away

And I will die in this place



Sometimes you scrape and sink so low

I'm shocked at what you're capable of

And if this is a coronation I ain't feeling the love



'Cause we are all a bunch of animals that never paid attention in school

So tell me all about your problems I was killing before killing was cool



You're so cool,

you're so cool,

so cool!



'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

And we all get together when we bury our friends

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

It's been nine bitter years since I've been seeing you face

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

And you're walking away

And I will die in this place



You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive

Do what it takes to survive

'Cause I'm still here



You'll never get me alive

You'll never take me alive

Do what it takes to survive

And I'm still here



You'll never take me alive

You'll never get me alive

Do what it takes to survive

And I'm still here



You'll never get me (Get me!)

You'll never take me (Take me!)

You'll never get me alive!



'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

And we all get together when we bury our friends

It's been ten fucking years since I've been seeing your face

'Round here

And you're walking away

And I will drown in the fear

Kill All Your Friends

Kill All Your Friends stands as a defining track from My Chemical Romance's live repertoire, capturing the band's theatrical intensity during their mid-2000s peak. Recorded for the 2007 Live and Rare album, the song showcases the group's signature blend of punk energy and emo sentimentality that propelled them to mainstream success. While often associated with their studio albums like The Black Parade, this live rendition highlights the raw power of their stage presence and the dynamic interplay between the band members. The track reflects the band's evolution from their earlier, more aggressive roots into the grandiose, narrative-driven sound that characterized their most celebrated era. It remains a staple for fans seeking the visceral experience of a My Chemical Romance concert, embodying the emotional depth and sonic ambition that defined their influential body of work.
