Mama -- My Chemical Romance

MAMA WE ALL GO TO HELL  MAMA WE ALL GO TO HELL
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well  MAMA WE ALL GO TO HELL
Oh well now  Mama we're all gonna die  Mama we're all gonna die
Stop asking me questions  I'd hate to see you cry  Mama
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE

And when we go don't blame us  We'll let the fires just bathe us
You made us oh so famous  We'll never let you go  And when you go don't return to me my love  Mama we're all full of lies Mama we're meant for the flies And right now they're building a coffin your size
MAMA WERE ALL FULL OF LIES

Well Mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
You should have raised a baby girl  I should have been a better son
If you could coddle the infection  They can amputate at once
You should've been  I COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SON

And when we go don't blame us  We'll let the fires just bathe us
You made us oh so famous  We'll never let you go
She said "You ain't no son of mine"  For what you've done they're gonna find
A place for you and just you mind  Your manners when you go
And when you go don't return to me my love

Mama  We all go to hell  Mama we all go to hell  It's really quite pleasant
Except for the smell  Mama we all go to hell  MA!MAMA!MAMA!
And if you would call me your sweetheart   I'd maybe then sing you a song
But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun
You would cry out your eyes all along

We're damned after all  Through fortune and flame we fall
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way to return from the ashes you call  We all carry on  When our brothers in arms are gone
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS HIGH  FOR TOMORROW WE DIE
And return from the ashes you call

This song starts with the sound of explosions in the background, indicating it is about a soldier at war. He is sending letters and communicating with his mother, who seems ashamed of him: "You ain't no son of mine, for what you've done they're gonna finda place for you, and just you mind your manners when you go. And when you go, don't return to me, my love." The soldier also feels shame, and is worried that he will be sent to hell when he dies.                                                                                              (songfacts)
