I think the rape is referring to the line "They make me do push-ups in drag"
And the title... What else would happen to guys like them in prison?

Well in the song, there's a couple of guys having a gunfight in the centre of a restaurant. The police tell them to come out with their arms up but they try to escape! (Well they’re never gonna get me, like a bullet through a flock of doves)

I think it’s all pretty self explanatory. Meh.
It's a great song though.

BrandySmartiesNinja:
I'm going with life in prison

Call me a dork, but where is rape mentioned?


they don't mention it literally, but there's a lot of little innuendo-type phrases that give it away:

first of all, the title 'you know what they do to guys like us in prison' is a well known kind of term which suggests prison rape. it's like saying...'you know what they do to guys like us in prison. we're not the toughest of people and when we go there you know there's going to be guys in there who're going to take an interest in us in a sexual way, against our will'.

the line 'how we're just two men as god had made us' kind of gives it away again. talking about two men: together.

and the part where he sings:
"To your room, what they ask of you
Will make you want to say
So long!..." etc, i think it's suggesting that, prison guards/top dogs in prison are taking them to their room, and they're asking them to do them some kind of sexual favour, and that's why it would want to make you say 'so long' because they're trying to get out of there, and they don't want to be in that situation.
y'know what i mean. heh.
that's what i think of it anyways.

Clearly about how "things" happen in jail.
You can tell that from the title.
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
Pretty much about getting raped in jail.
Or beaten or something along those lines.

im retty sure this song has something to d with gay guys. i mean:
Now, but I can't and I don't know How we're just two men as God had made us Well, I can't.. well, I can! Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish I'll kiss your lips again

read that its were just 2 men as god has made us. then it says ill kiss your lips again. does any1 c my point here?

plain and simple. Its about Gerard and Bert. Gee had to spice it up a little so he doesn't sound completely gay.

It's spiced up with the hidden story of getting screwed in prison. good plotline. Shows creativeness Wink

Just to make it clear, i dont know if anyone has assumed this, but Gerard Arthur Way is NOT gay or bi. And here's proof,


A fan asked him if he was bi. Frankie and Mikey both snapped up and looked at her like o_o, but Gerard said it was okay and smiled, then said he was NOT bi and is straight and has a girlfriend (my note: her name is Olivia).

So yeah the song is not about his being gay.
And also alot of you keep refering to Bert from The Used. My guess is you guys keep saying its about Gerard and Bert having gay sex becuz they kissed, well FYI they only did that becuz of a DARE. Gee was dared to kiss Bert so he did.
They are nothing more then friends. So stop saying that their gay and/or bi.

k thnx.

something tells me that im gonna get alot of feedback for that one.....DUN DUN DUN.... Cheese

where did you hear that story? because seriously, growing up with a gay brother, a gay best friend, and being bisexual myself i'd say i have a pretty good gay-dar. and seriously, i get the vibe gerard is bisexual. i mean, homosexuality comes up an awful lot in their music (for example, this song and the infamous kiss in the "i'm not okay" video) and gerard even dressed in drag in college once. but yeah, if you can show me the source of that quote, that'd help.

^I think he just mucks around.
they're all really close, almost family, so they'd be pretty comfortable with each other.
like they said on LOTMS, before they got bunks they pretty much slept with each other Laughing

this song is OBVIOUSLY bout gerards experiences of homosexuality...now im not into all dat crap about is gerard gay/bi watever...who gives a fuck???

but in it i think gerard is expressing the mix of emotions that he felt when he kissed Ber McCracken...

hes afraid because his catholic upbringing forbad homosexuality and tehre are loads of religious references..

"on your mothers eyes say a prayer" etc....

prison rape....i see it in the song but i dunno...why is that included??

I find it to be a song about a journey that a guy goes through.
He's in a gunfight in a restaraunt
[[In the middle of a gunfight in the center of a restaraunt]]
and the cops catch him and put him in prison. There, he mentions being raped
[[They made me do push ups in drag. OR when he screams and whimpers at the end of the song]]
;; having a guy in your cell whos a killer, ect.

yes i have a good gay-dar. obviously you have no fucking clue what it is. that's a little sad, especially if you really are a bisexual. anyway, not my problem.

A lot of people have heard that this song is about Bert and Gerard my self included. And it most likely is, since Bert does some vocals in it. But if it didn't mean anything, I dont think he would have written a song about it. And I have seen them kiss many many times...so I'm not sure.
