Anyone have any idea what he means by "Teenage girls with 'ESP'", "Boys with bombs in 'NMA'", or "Morning sickness, 'XYZ'"? I tried googling all three but things but didn't have much luck
There are a number of fan sites for Gerard Way on Tumblr with "Teenage Girls on LSD"as their title but this may be the original as it appears to predate the song:

I would rather point to internet (or game) related things, seeing as the term "griefer" is used in many video games to describe a player that is destructive or detrimental to the game.

"Teenage girls with ESP" - I don‘t know exactly what they mean with this, but the first thing that comes to mind is extra-sensory perception (ESP). ESP is considered to be a paranormal ability (baseless ability, little to no facts to prove its existance). They might be twisting that on girls, because the internet often steriotypes girls as "know-it-all‘s" about men, etc....

"Boys with bombs in NMA" - I think this points to No Mutants Allowed (http://www.nma-fallout.com/), a fansite about Fallout and various other post-apocalyptic games.
If I were to sum the song up, I‘d say it was about escaping the real world by entering the more controlled world of gaming/internet ("Another world outside...") because this world is too chaotic. I think it also bashes religion at the start ("We got machines, but the kids got Jesus"). As I understand it, the more intelligent people rely on technology and man-made constructs, the "inferior" rely on religion (this does not reflect my actual opinion on the subject, it‘s only my perception of the lyrics :D).
These sorts of vague texts fascinate me, as the way I interpret them relies heavily on my past experience and current knowledge. Everyone interprets them differently. I‘m amazed to see Deadmau5 use this writing method, as prejudice had me believing he didn‘t have it in him. Props to you, Mau5.

OK, so here's what I can come up with so far and it may be totally off base...

As for the Boys with bombs in NMA: http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/SingleItem.aspx?asset_id=RTR_20120719_RTR_002 It's part of the NMA website and the closest match I could come up with.

These seem to fit best but who knows?

The only thing I can think of for 'XYZ', is in Minecraft, they use XYZ cords, and we know from Joel's youtube that he plays Minecraft. :).
