In Defense of the Genre (feat. Gerard Way) Lyrics
Can't you see my dear?
What you create is greater than great?
It's beautiful and valid
Go tell a false friend who doubts your art
"Hey, toss my caustic salad."
Their noise pollution is a one-night stand
A closet corporate ballad
Compose the theme, compose the theme
That seems to haunt the sultan's dreams
Yes their truth is a lie, a sickly sober sky
Don't you dare lay down your spear and die, oh small fry
Crime of the century, know what it meant to me
They'll label us what they can never be
Sing "hate me, but I am in your heart,
I am in your heart, pulling it apart"
All those magazines and stifled teens whose trite teething is outdated
Have miniscule minds of clay in need of chiseling away
This war's been reinstated
So spit a wad in the face of their fucking flawless race
And all they've consecrated
I won't believe
believe, believe, believe, believe
the twisted web they weave
They can't stitch you silent now
Or bitch the violence out
I'm disavowed
Disavowed
I'm proud to shun their know-how
The wolf begat the lamb
And now it's in his hands
I'm reeling from a feeling that they banned
Our last stand goes
I am in your heart
Burning up a black hole
I am in your heart
Burning up a black hole
Pulling it apart
Hallelujah love
Hallelujah love
Hallelujah love
I've got an empty wallet and a record cover
The stage, hot and worn like an aging lover
So I spew a comet of verbal vomit, sacrilegious of Christ or Islamic
It's full of piss and they'll never stop it
Come on come on come on come on
And kill the kindly ones
The ever blinded ones
We stand and face you now
We will not run
Crime of the century, know what it meant to me
Just you wait, just you wait and see
where your lemming line leads
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)
What you create is greater than great?
It's beautiful and valid
Go tell a false friend who doubts your art
"Hey, toss my caustic salad."
Their noise pollution is a one-night stand
A closet corporate ballad
Compose the theme, compose the theme
That seems to haunt the sultan's dreams
Don't you dare lay down your spear and die, oh small fry
They'll label us what they can never be
Sing "hate me, but I am in your heart,
I am in your heart, pulling it apart"
Have miniscule minds of clay in need of chiseling away
This war's been reinstated
So spit a wad in the face of their fucking flawless race
And all they've consecrated
I won't believe
believe, believe, believe, believe
the twisted web they weave
They can't stitch you silent now
Or bitch the violence out
I'm disavowed
Disavowed
I'm proud to shun their know-how
The wolf begat the lamb
And now it's in his hands
I'm reeling from a feeling that they banned
I am in your heart
Burning up a black hole
I am in your heart
Burning up a black hole
Pulling it apart

Hallelujah love

Just you wait, just you wait and see
where your lemming line leads
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)
I am in your heart
(burning up a black hole)

TOSS MY CAUSTIC SALAD!
This song is like a collaboration orgasm. The title says it all as far as the meaning. They're defending their music in the face of the wave of negative media and many a listener.
I'm really confused with the part "The stage, hot and worn like an aging lover So I spew a comet of verbal vomit, sacrilegious of Christ or Islamic It's full of piss and they'll never stop it And kill the kindly ones The ever blinded ones We stand and face you now We will not run"
Is he trying to say sacriligous things about Christianity and Islam and then blame them for the killing of the Jews?
i dont even know. but there a lot of religous references in this album.
the crime of the century is the holocaust
i was kind of hesitant about the new album, but after listening to it over and over... yeah. it's basically amazing. this song is so awesome. all of the songs are awsome. listening to it just makes me feel all... asdohflas;fhsdf ! :D
this is the song 'defending their genre' like people say how it's just stupid scene kids etc but they're saying its not
relates to the album cover, the old people represent the magazines and the young represent the genre
this is prolly my least fave song on the album
i love gerard way and my chemical romance's music but he really fucks up the song the whole rythym and sound of the song is changed for like less than thrirty seconds
gerard is pretty cool in this.
Yeah, I think Gerard's part kind of adds to it, without it it might have... plodded along a little? But yeah, it's not a great song, but a very good song, and even if it wasn't Gerard singing it i would love that part. =]
