Annotations for Mama Live Demo

Lyric: And if you could write me a letter
 I’d maybe then sing you a song
 ’Cause the shit that I’ve done with this fuck of a gun
 Your eyes bleed when the words hit your tongue
Annotation:
The final lyrics: And if you would call me a sweetheart I’d maybe then sing you a song But the shit that I’ve done with this fuck of a gun You would cry out your eyes all along In this version, this excerpt appears to be told from the perspective of the narrator, rather than his estranged mother like in the studio version. He wants his mom to write to him asking about his experiences. However, his experiences haven’t been all sunshine and rainbows, so after confessing he would sing her a song to lift her spirits. In the studio track, the first two lines are sung by famous singer Liza Minelli, a choice made by MCR frontman  Gerard Way.
