My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row (Lyrics)

[Claimjumpers]

Eww they butchered a beautiful song -_- how could anyone think this is better than the original. What has taste in music come to??

[OnlyGreenSide]

Love this song and love MCR, help me spread the happiness and the love people, please stop arguing over YouTube. It's pretty clear you wouldn't be so in yo face, you are wrong in real life cause it's not a good look so please don't do it over the internet! Thank you, a concerned citizen. :D

[sarahjanesmithno1fan]

MCR 4 Eva! They have saved my life so fuck off all you haters!

[marshmallowgirl4life]

I don't care if you like MCR or Bob Dylan just shut up and enjoy the fucking music!

[danimusic00]

I'm a fan of Bob Dylan and I prefer his version, but I like what they did with the song.

[CrazyKatie08]

have respect for the original version, both are good.

[Emolicious917]

I love MCR more than anything on this earth and I you dare insult them once more I will cut off our head with a blunt razor and ten feed it to my dog this band is amazing and practically saved my life and I also love Bob Dylan so stop the fuckin hating OK!!!!

[imnumber0ne]

@Emolicious917 go cry emo kid

[Emolicious917]

@imnumber0ne ok so if you believe emo is real then you sad and you have no respect for anyone emo is a stereotype so you should go cry and fuck yourself with a baseball bat K

[imnumber0ne]

@Emolicious917 your name is emo-licious that makes it pretty clear youre emo mkay?

[ConfusedHippos]

@Emolicious917 Umm, if you don't believe emo is real, and think that it is a steryotype, and had a go at someone for calling you emo.....Explain your name?..

[Emolicious917]

@ConfusedHippos the reason i put that name is as a joke im the exact opposite of a stereotypical emo im actually happy and cheerful near all of the time.... so yea

[NinjaPaige101]

Haters*

[NinjaPaige101]

Screw you hatred -:D This is WAAAAYYY better than the regular version. Why the hell are you hatred even commenting on this if you hate it so much? Pathetic really. Very very lame. Not cool.

MCR FOREVER!

[milsims100]

Well I guess its OK if you are in a hurry :)

[StuipedVidsRUs]

Bob Dylan's was better.

[MyChemRadio]

I personally like this version better :D @ThePwnzies Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's awful -.-

[ThePwnzies]

That was awful.

[AbbyMac100]

@ThePwnzies Some people like MCR. For Some people MCR saved their live. Just6 because you think it is awful doesn't mean you have go around and proclaim it to people that like it.

[barrelrollhero]

I love Bob Dylan, and I'm not an MCR fan, but this is actually pretty good. Props

[MrAwsomemoose]

my chemical romances version is better than the original.

come at me bro

[corianderdolphin2]

Guys shut up about opinions and genders and just listen to the damn music, god peoples arguments over youtube are just so childish these days.. >.<

[StaticDisturbance]

Alright, I'm not a huge Bob Dylan fan. He's just not my style. But this song is really good. I like it.

[Duffman12241113810]

FYI Bob Dylan called MCR and told them he loved thier cover of Desolation Row

[Parkerkun]

But seriously, Bob Dylan fanboys are the worst.

[DerOgraf]

i prefer the original ²

[Icescreecher]

Not only does this version suck compared to the original, but also , in general, just a super lame punk rock song..my chemical romance..please stop this crap..maybe stick to singing bad power ballads..at least some idiots will like u

[GreenDayFlorence]

@Icescreecher You honestly can't compare the two versions, they're completely different.

- Bob Dylan can't sing. Just thought I'd point that out. -

[ash356]

@GreenDayFlorence

'Bob Dylan can't sing. Just thought I'd point that out.'

Seriously, are all MCR fanboys fucking morons?

I can totally comprehend that you may not be a fan of Dylans singing style. Or his songs, for that matter. But to take that to the extreme, and state that one of the most influential musicians of all time, in league with The Beatles and Elvis, 'can't sing' is the kind of shallow-minded comment that makes people hate you morons.

FTR, I love MCR. Just I'm not blinded by idiocy

[GreenDayFlorence]

@ash356 DAMNIT. Why does everyone think I'm a boy?! I. AM. A. GIRL. Why do you assume I'm a boy? Idiocy is my best quality, young one. Bob Dylan can't sing, that's all I said and to me it's pretty much the truth. His voice makes my ears bleed. Who cares how influential he is? I don't. My opinion is hardly 'shallow-minded', it's what I believe is right. Learn to respect my opinion.

[ash356]

@GreenDayFlorence

Firstly, whilst I was unaware of your initial gender, it doesn't change my point. Fanboy, is imo, a generic/unisex term, and the alternative 'fan-girl' just doesn't roll off the tongue. Ever.

Secondly: I think you need to take some lessons in expressing your opinion. Saying someone what influential 'can't sing' is just asking for shit. Just adding 'in my opinion' to that sentence could even go miles... your opinion was so blunt, its insulting.

[GreenDayFlorence]

@ash356 Lessons in expressing my opinion? There's a right way to do that? -.- It's not like I went on to EVERY Bob Dylan video and said 'He can't sing'. Get over it.

[ash356]

@GreenDayFlorence

Yeah, amazingly, theres a way to be liberal with an opinion, and not offend people! Truly astounding.

[GreenDayFlorence]

@ash356 There's a way to be liberal with an opinion, but it's not the "right" way of doing it. There are many ways of expressing an opinion, and I did it in a slightly less conventional way. Isn't that too bad?

[Damg19]

I prefer the original

[ALFAlyssa1]

I was sitting in the hospital getting my IV infusion, and the guy next to me started playing this. I was so excited.. like really.

[peleking352]

@ALFAlyssa1 it wasn't in the infusion room at SHANDS HOSPITAL in Gainesville, Florida.....was it?

[ALFAlyssa1]

@peleking352 It was, it was.

[peleking352]

@ALFAlyssa1 oh cuz that was me.

[MyChemicalRomanceFS]

I Love rays solo Part <333333

hes awesome :3

[leambzTV]

may i ask, whats desolation row? my chemical romance are legends <3

[Babylon1914]

@leambzTV like a destroyed place i think

[GreenDayFlorence]

I wish the volume would go higher. D:

[FishSticksJoe]

...why is this only 3 minutes long?

[greendayfan3399]

such an amazing song<3

[xEPICxNESS]

Okay people , if you like the Dylan cover better than go listen to that , MCR -3

[PHILADELPHIAFLYERS88]

great solo

[ExposedSecrecy]

Stfu everyone and enjoy this awesome cover by the most awesome band ever.

[sexyman1024]

sometimes when i'm bored, i'll cover myself in Vaseline, and pretend to be slug :D

[RomanceKillsChemical]

@sexyman1024 hahahahaha XD

[EmilySwiggle]

@sexyman1024 what the fuck :'D <3

x

[636snowboarder]

STFU sick song

[gerardfan3]

I love this song Gerards voice sounds so different here i like it :D

[GreenDayFlorence]

Gee's voice is so sexy. :3

[Serinity84]

I liked these guys in my early 20's, and they are still okay for what they are. Now that I'm older I don't like music so active I guess. I love Dylan now, guess it's just an age thing. You can't hate on covers though, bands only cover songs of people they admire right? So if MCR likes Dylan then why is everyone arguing on the issue?

[shadowassassin1945]

excuse me while i slit my wrists because this song was horribly made as a cover.

[buzzkill2009]

@shadowassassin1945 oh dont worry, we wont mind you. go ahead :)

[kittykatdailey]

@shadowassassin1945 its okay :) go ahead we wont look xP

[EmilySwiggle]

@shadowassassin1945 Clean up when you're done, yeah? :)

x

[twilightCRAZYGEEK]

@EmilySwiggle yup we don't want any more stereotype stains on this band X3 MCR FOREVER!

[LauraSawr]

@shadowassassin1945 I though your name was a horribly spelled Shane Dawson, then I read it properly ;) Oops

[hava3191]

OK can everybody just shut up! I like both versions!!! They are 2 different songs. I prefer the my chemical romance version but I like Bob Dylan. So can all of you haters get off the page and listen to something else. If you hate something don't comment on it.

[StikEetToDeMan]

Normally, at school we have like a ten minute break to run around the school....I plan to shout this song as loud as I can unitl it echoes through the school. :3 I'm such a wonderful student.

[xxxmcrblackrosesxxx]

ok w/e i am just saying that if you dont like it, dont go listen to it and make stupid comments. i am only defending mcr on their own song PAGE. if you dont like it, shut the hell up and listen to your own version. im not going to the other version and saying anything, so keep your mouth shut on this page.

[xxxmcrblackrosesxxx]

@KayCrunk666 then listen to that shitty version, leave our MCR alone

[ash356]

@xxxmcrblackrosesxxx

'That shitty version?'

LMAO. Shut up.

You can prefer whichever version you want, and state why, but under NO circumstance do you refer to the original version as 'That shitty version'.

Especially when said original version is by Bob Dylan. Dumbass.

[themollyrules]

i couldnt help singing along and woke up my sis! :3

[knotightul]

Whenever I hear the intro to the song I can't help but think Walk of Life by Dire Straits

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

Pretty awesome!

Bob's version is better, but this is wonderful! MCR put their own personal touch to the song! <3

[naromnaron2]

26 people are gay

[DTEGU]

i fucking love this song

[jonathanblood67]

i hope that bob get back to my chemical romance!!!!!

[rockisbetter]

i love, so criticizing the system

i love it

[rockisbetter]

then in comes romeo moaning ''u belong to me, i believe cinderella'', and someone says u in the wrong place, ma friend, u better leave :/

[rockisbetter]

and then the only sound thats left, after the ambulances go. is cinderella sweaping up on DESOLATION ROW.. \o/

[maddymouse46]

Love this song.

[pimpddr]

My father is a big fan of bob, he's proud that this song is so remembered! It speaks of every thing it originaly did! He says MCR is great but nothing new! To me MCR is new; from head first for halos to kill joys, they are who they started as!

[pimpddr]

to @CASantrizos thank you for show grace when grace is not needed!! For those who think MCr sold out, listen to S.I.N.G, they talk about how they are not who the others wanted! Get a clue! If any problemes move on and listen to something else,... fucker!

[pimpddr]

Bob Dylan was great, but hes dead now!

[danimusic00]

@pimpddr Bob Dylan's still alive, idiot.

[pimpddr]

OMG, so BA! I dont belive in anarchy but this is it in its finist!

[CallumJDonovan]

Better than the original. This is so much faster and you don't fall asleep while listening to it. :p

[41BobDylan]

@CallumJDonovan If you fall asleep while listening to Dylan's original version then clearly there is something wrong with you...

[CallumJDonovan]

@41BobDylan, the song is like, 10 minutes long. How could you not?

[41BobDylan]

@CallumJDonovan Because the amazing lyrics and general atmosphere of the song keep the listener drawn in. You must not be an avid listener of Bob Dylan songs because lot's of his songs are long. 10 minutes is nothing anyway, I listen to songs that are 20 minutes long.The longer the better..

[CallumJDonovan]

@41BobDylan, sorry, I must sound so opinionated. I don't listen to Bob Dylan, no. Heck, I'm only a teenager. Pretty much listened to MCR while growing up.

[sheshoutsInSilence]

To all the people bitching and whining, Uhm Im sorry, How many Billions of dollars have you made off your songs!?

[JazzaDork]

AHAMZING as always, love MCR!

[TeranTime]

i fucking hate my chemical romance way to ruin a songs whole genre. go bob dylan

[ilovelezlezandryry]

@TeranTime Uhmm, trolin? U mad bro?

[KittyMangaLove23]

@TeranTime you bastard

[ItsGraceandLydia]

@TeranTime i dont like cher, but i dont hate on her videos, Dont like don't look, don't like DONT F*CKING LISTEN.

[Ciokitty]

@ItsGraceandLydia nobody likes cher

[HyperActivityTV]

@TeranTime Fuck you bitch! Why are you f-ing listening to one of their covers then dick! Common fucking sense. Its not hard!

[SkyForeverGalaxy]

best fucking song they've ever performed

[CashewDaSquirrel]

Thumbs up if Watchmen sent you here!

[pentagramwishing]

I wish people would stop hating on this band. They're doing what they want and they're happy and lots of others including myself enjoy their music. If you don't like them or their music then you are entitled to your opinion but please don't write loads of hate comments on a video. Many people will fight you and it will all end in tears. Please stop hating on bands that are living out their dreams. It's not fair on them or their fans. Sorry for the long speech but it had to be said.

[eviedream]

@pentagramwishing An Anti hate comment that doesn't use swearing and where things are spelled correctly. I love you!

[pentagramwishing]

@eviedream thanks. :0)

[vampslayer1]

@pentagramwishing I get what your saying.

I hated the Danger Days CD because I thought they sold out,then I actually listened to it and realized it wasnt that bad.

[iiiSK8orDI3iii]

Twats these day. Just listen to the fucking song

[punkpoprockkewl]

Amazing would be an understatement.

[tcjm1]

23 people were sent to desolation row

[TooBloodyEasy]

Dylan's version has more emotion and that does it for me. Not hating on this though.

[duggerboy35]

@TooBloodyEasy i respect your opinion but i dis agree with you i give bob dylan his due he is a legend but thes guys turned an eleven minute song in to a 3 minute song tht takes talent

[TooBloodyEasy]

@duggerboy35 yeah it does take talent, props to him for doing that, I just feel that Bob's version has more emotion

[amysita77]

They turned it into pussy emo music. Fuck My Chemical Romance.

[FunGhoul77]

@amysita77

If you don't like My Chemical Romance's " pussy emo music " don't listen to it. (;

[PaintedAsh]

@amysita77 Don't like the music, don't waste your time listening to it. So fuck YOU.

[ItsGraceandLydia]

@amysita77

right. if you know you dont like My Chemical Romance, why click on their videos? you clearly have too much time on your hands, sad person, don't hate on them because you're jealous- Dont like? DONT F*CKING LISTEN.

[MusicXRhythmXLife]

Oh my god...i didnt like Bob Dylan's version much. Hearing then clears that outta my head. Bob's version was WAY so slow. i mean it was 11 freaking minutes long!!! and anyway it sounds so much better when MCR sings it

[juann913]

@MusicXRhythmXLife only one word comes to my mind... fail.

[MusicXRhythmXLife]

@juann913 thank you you whining bitch. Now please fuck off before i find you and slit your wrists then feed you to sharks

[MusicXRhythmXLife]

@juann913 aww! just like your life! now fuck off okay?

[doctormarmalade]

This song is about a hanging

I cried first time I heard it

[dfaiola18]

what is a row?

[TheTwilightedGirlxxx]

what is the meaning of this song?

[skaroutsos22]

;D!

[CASantrizos]

i gotta say, they did alright... but Bob's original is better...

[ItsGraceandLydia]

@CASantrizos thak you. now, i MUCH prefer MCR because i love this style, but thank you for crediting them even though it's not your favourite, thank you for not being a twathead like those saying 'i hate MCR bob is the best' :D

[chuckieluv]

bob is god

[chumkui999]

@Cowboysman621 your a soldier of mercy and your cold and you curse he who cannot be trusted must fall

[RoCKoN3142]

[BiddaBiddaCherryPie]

@HipHannahRose Fair enough, your entitled to your opinion, although il accept my view is entirely bias considering im not a big fan of MCR

[peppypie97]

@chumkui999 Do or die you'll never make me Because this world will never take my heart Go and try you'll never break me We want it all We wanna play this part I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm unashamed I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here cuz its who we are I'm just man not a hero Just a boy who had to sing this song I'm just a man not a hero I.DON'T.CARE!

Fuck off you dont stand a chance against the Killjoys and MCRmy.

[chumkui999]

@peppypie97 They say i shot a man named grey and took his wife to italy, she inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me...........i cant help it if im lucky, people see me all the time and they just cant remember how to act their minds are filled with big ideas, images are distorted fast. even you yesterday you had to ask me where i was at...................

[MyChemicalRomance863]

I <3 My Chemical Romance

[Stryker37573]

this was originally Bob Dylan's song.. so fuck off..

[ILoveSamHart]

@cllrghst im not 13 im 12 so HA IN UR FACE FUCKTARD

[ILoveSamHart]

@chumkui999 lol am i the only one tht feels like tht is poetry

[Laurzy77]

@cllrghst what makes you think that all mcr fans do that?my mom does not drive, nor does she own a minivan. do you actually believe that all mcr fans are emo? because they're not. if you do not like then, get off their videos. i will admit that i am a dork, but not because of my love for mcr, but i am academically advanced. ok? so why not go away, because you know you cannot respond to this with a significant answer.

[BiddaBiddaCherryPie]

Its like a trainwreck compared to the original -_-

[MyChemicalRomance863]

@BiddaBiddaCherryPie A BEAUTIFUL Trainwreck, if thats what you mean!!

[BiddaBiddaCherryPie]

@MyChemicalRomance863 no, i mean they took a great folk song and wrecked it

[MCRbetterthanBieber]

Ha ha its like a million to one chumkui999 (Exaggeration) just accept the truth that MCR is one of the best bands ever!!!

[chumkui999]

@MCRbetterthanBieber One day in the future when your dad stops creeping into your room late at night and you grow a set of balls with hair you just might understand what a complete retard you are to think that MCR are anything more than a meaningless crappy kids band

[welboam]

@chumkui999 ha ha lolz lolz u just made my day! all i was wanting was to make someone mad :D lol! thanks a lot!!! Btw im a girl.... so lolz. that was hilarious my cuz thought it was to!

[chumkui999]

[MyChemicalRomance863]

@chumkui999 So what kind of music do you prefer? (Saying it nicely)

[dubansharting]

@chumqui999 i guess i'm a twat then... fuck me.

[dubansharting]

this song needs to be cranked. all the time.

[MCRbetterthanBieber]

chumkui999 just shut up and go watch your stupid music and leave the MCR lovers alone, (its people like you who make me hate youtube now....)

[magicalcupcake5]

Sounds so much different than Bob Dylan`s Original Version!! This one is more fast, and upbeat!!!!.......... And it`s Gerard`s BEAUTIFUL voice too! that just made the song for me!

[mahorosan1]

@chumkui999 so who do you consider better than mcr? 

[MGerardCFrankR]

@chumkui999 I think I might have to kill you now, jk, but seriously........don't, you have no idea what you are talking about, you knew what this video was before you clicked on it so why did you bother? The MCRmy are the strongest army ever, so please don't insult them, we - and they - can't be hurt by your stupid comments so your wasting your time, so shut the fuck up!

[chumkui999]

@MGerardCFrankR MCRmy hahahaha you sad pathetic child. One day when your balls drop you might just understand how shit this band really are.

[emogothism]

@chumkui999 why did u even click it if u seen it was a cover tht MCR was doing? my god! why must people ruin it for other's who like it?

[Laurzy77]

@chumkui999 why even watch it if you are gonna start stuff with the mcr. did we do any thing to you? no, we didnt. so get out of here and go play with your barbies before you get beat up by the millions of MCRmy members

[chumkui999]

@Laurzy77 "millions of MCRmy members" hahahahaha what a pathetic cunt you really are

[Laurzy77]

@chumkui999 i wish you were talking to my face so that i could just beat you up right there on the spot.

[chumkui999]

@Laurzy77 Keep dreaming faggot

[Laurzy77]

@chumkui999 why dream about the reality, douchebag?

[chumkui999]
