Name: Don't Try Studio Version (Gerard Way Cover) by Billy Cobb
Duration: 4 min 39 s
Description: This is my studio version of the previously unreleased "Don't Try" by Gerard Way. He has performed this song quite a few times live, but there has never been a studio version until now. I did all the instruments and vocals based off of live performances I've heard, so excuse me if I get any lyrics wrong. Enjoy!

HOW TO DRESS AS HUMAN

LUCK1

lyrics:
You got no business questioning a- questioning a
Thang, thang, thang
Thang, thang, thang
Thang, thang, tha
You got no business questioning a- questioning a
Thang, thang, tha-thang
Thang, thang, tha-tha
Thang, thang, thang, tha
You got no business questioning a- questioning a

Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north, so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you out

Some you need to take a run like DMC
I'm DND to all these texts that people send
They're TMP
I get a rest from all these people preachin' peace but really mean
They knew the sign but never really CND
On the screen, they're seein' me
I got electrons in my body
I got secrets in my trunk
And your girl doesn't want prison but she really wants to cuff
Yes, I'm glad I met you once, but I don't really wanna puck
You don't even get to duck when I just flank you like a duck

Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you out

(Just two bands, got it?)

Just two bands, it's just two bands, it's just two bands, it's just two bands
For those bands, I'd get you handsy and romantic: Make you dance
But I wouldn't do that kind of thing despite saying the fact
It's just that you say you don't like me, yet there's values that you lack
You need to stop
You need to stop
You need to stop
You're acting silly
Feel like bathroom fish the way you got me asking "is it really?"
(Thang) Manny Pac the way I knock out
Stop this
Boom like the stocks in
Get ready for my pop-in

Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you out
Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you-

We're sorry
You have reached a number
That has been disconnected or is no longer in service

Money's comin' out my, uh
Money's comin' out my pockets

Money's comin' out my pockets as I'm laughing to the bank (I don't care!)
Got a couple puckin' bangers in the tank
I said don't pick up that phone
You don't wanna see what happens
I said don't pick up that phone 'less you wanna see the cabin (2 Le-)
Two Legit two Quit like MC Hammer when I'm rappin'
Take you and her to the cinema to show you both some action
I don't slow roast
I break you down all personal like fractions
Yes, I go ghost
Negotiating lames is not a habit

Uh, half-mast flag flying
Puck it I'll be gnashing, slashing
Call it class the way that you'll be passin'
And then I'll be dashin' (Catch)
Catch 22 catching 22
Like Scooter Braun
Try typing hate comments
With your puckin' arms cut off

Not even talking to you
It isn't worth it
Don't call me
This number's (No longer in service)
Not even begging for attention
I just walk in
Not even targeting
I just- I just pop in

Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you out
Pop in
Pop out
If you didn't know me then, then just- just shut your mouth
You didn't know me in the north so don't call when it goes south
Think I'm giving you my route? No, I'm taking you

You got no business questioning a thang
You got no business questioning a thang
You got no business questioning a thang
You got no business questioning a thang

Can I Have Your Attention?

POP IN, POP OUT

Up! Up!

I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm
Uh

I'm going down now
Go to downtown to let sound pound
Feel like DJ Khaled
You cant stop me being loud now
Loudmouth people get mad like it errands and they're embarrassing
Cause they'll be soonest to bow down

Your favorite game to play with me was, "Guess which way you'll twist the knife into my side"
Because you took my livelihood (almost my life)
So now I'm thinking whether not the things I learned were worth the time
Or if the damage scarred was wrong or right or dark or light

Your favorite game to play with me was, "Guess which way you'll twist the knife into my side"
Because you took my livelihood (almost my life)
So now I'm thinking whether not the things I learned were worth the time
Or if the damage scarred was wrong or right or dark or light

So I'm up
I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up
Up up up upupupupup
I'm going up

Up, up

I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up
I'm going up

Get away from you bony zero backbone piece of -
Think I'd rather rip out all my body parts than sit through more of this
I'm pissed. You promised skies, delivered pits. my spirit's split
You pitiful disguising leading, lying hypocritic skit
You played the game. I won the round
Your voice is noise. I hate the sound
Matter fact, let's double back and hit each other pound for pound
I was a king without a crown
I'm rising up. you're falling down
And I said it. I need credit like I wrote "I Get Around"

I'm going down now
Go to downtown to let sound pound
Thinking when I never have to see you like a countdown
Next time that you see me better walk away or crouch down
Bounce down. Count in, Drowned out.
Wound out
I was wound up like a puppet
Every time I tried to talk, you'd just tell me to sh-sh-shove it
Never gonna talk it down or hold it back or t-t-tuck it
You can hate me now, but one day, I will make you learn to love it

I'M GOING UP

HA HA HA HA! No transition
I'm a man on a mission
No pain in a pan in the kitchen
Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah start kissin'
It's official. I love attention (Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
No pain in a pan in the kitchen
Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah start kissin'
Eye-line girl into Bass Pro fishin'

Uh, they're all painting me stupid
Uh, long in the front like I'm Snoopy
Uh, don't say anything moving
Uh, I like her rolls like lumpia

(Ah, ah, ah)
Kevin alone like Macaulay Culkin
Your lies aren't you onta somethin'
All fake Ks like Oli London

Sometimes I say things that I don't believe in
Just to get into people's brains
And I have spread into lethal range
Sometimes I talk on things I have no degrees in
For no reason
Complex Napolean

See you this evening
I see you this evening
Like seasons I change and I age and I weaken
I passed her by, so just call me a deacon
Feel like Gaston with music from Sweden
Sometimes, I'm talking without meaning
Sometimes, I'm thinking without speaking
And sometimes I forget to say bye before I start leaving

Disintegrate, disassociate
Nothing's real. Don't create
No expressions-every face
Embrace nothing, leave no trace

Build our cities, fight the wars
Dance and sing, pandering (pandering)
All the while, we cannot shake
The nagging sense it's all a fake

Scurry, hustle, chase success
Trapped up in a horrid mess
Efforts frail, ambitions grand
watch him eat the specks of sand

He needs it by the month
He needs it by the month
He's from the South
He usually tells buddy to go back inside his house

(Hey, hey, look at me)
(Thanks)

HA HA HA HA! No transition
I'm a man on a mission
No pain in a pan in the kitchen
Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah start kissin'
It's official. I love attention (Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
No pain in a pan in the kitchen
Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah start kissin'
Eye-line girl into Bass Pro fishin'
Uh, they're all painting me stupid
Uh, long in the front like I'm Snoopy
Uh, don't say anything moving
Uh, I like her rolls like lumpia

(Ah, Ah, Ah Ahhh!) Cool new things I do
Haven't been outside
How is the sky because I think it's blue?

Let me just say let me just say something
Got one day and you all did nothing
Some of you need to meet me outsideeeeee
Okay, I'm just bluffin'
Follow my arrow like Musgrave loving
Get an A+ cause I gave something
So bored, I might just copy myself
We're jumping
We're punching
We're pulling seduction

You're bragging about cuffing season (Golden retriever...)
But your boyfriend's ugly
No money monsters looking like Michael and Sully
You aren't funny
And If you rate girls, then you won't find anyone loving
I like to go out the country
I got a two hundred quintillion inside my duffel
You know im not fronting, uh

NO TRANSITION

C'mon to the corner watch me hit these tricks
I went out on a regular Tuesday and
I fell in love with a tipsy witch
A don dada dumb dancing ditsy witch
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance till I fall
And I fell on my face in her place I recall
And I set up a date but she thinks it's to hang
Who cares about chance at least we're alone and we'll dance

What is that allusion to?
I'm a student too
If ya read, I read up before you
And I salute your love
You inscrutable stranger Camus made up
Sucks to suck
I just muck while I try to sway and sway to songs
I never play when alone
Conduct me a way i deduct you would hope
Wrong song. I'm stuck on my own

Came to the party with a shovel
You could really say I'm backhoe
Wanna give you king and a castle
But I dispute your love
Silly beautiful girl like the moon above
Sucks to suck
I just muck while I try to play and play to ways
you'd think I'd think when alone
Conduct me a way i deduct you would hope
God awful. I'm stuck on my own

On the way out. Don't let me get hit by the backdoor
Hope to see you back at your place or a dancefloor
Don't make plans but demand more
I don't have much to stand for
Can more people like me even though I'm different
And isn't it a gift to be a one without equivalents
Difference is that I don't know where similar's significant
And I'm not deliberately blissfully too ignorant to ask you to

C'mon to the corner watch me hit these tricks
I went out on a regular Tuesday and
I fell in love with a tipsy witch
A don dada dumb dancing ditsy witch
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance till I fall
And I fell on my face in her place I recall
And I set up a date but she thinks it's to hang
Who cares about chance at least we're alone and we'll dance

Honey, just give me one chance
I'm funny. I'm punny. I make good money
And my jokes make you roll like a ragdoll dummy
And I don't need shades but it's always sunny with you (with you!)
Now I gotta get to running
Now the waters getting muddied
Now I gotta get a lucky putting
If I swing and miss then I'll stop
I know you're always with the
scummy bummy crummy kinda guys
you should bunny up and just hop
I'm in the gully gotta study
I'll get bloody if I have to
I need to learn when to pop
Sit down with you
throw stones, share records
my god girl you know rock

I got a lot on my mind
Can't walk by the clock cause I can't
I got a lot on my mind
Can't walk by the clock cause I can't pass the time
I'm fine. I'm lying. I'm incredibly off it
I turn red to the heat-raw crawfish
Need solace. Got a cold? Better cough it up
I bluff too cause I got it tough
I messed up, and I say that I didn't
I want a chance. Can we please just dance?

C'mon to the corner watch me hit these tricks
I went out on a regular Tuesday and
I fell in love with a tipsy witch
A don dada dumb dancing ditsy witch
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance till I fall
And I fell on my face in her place I recall
And I set up a date but she thinks it's to hang
Who cares about chance at least we're a-

C'mon!

Huh
Huh

Systems in position cause they wanna keep me stuck here
Struck fear inside me like the headlights to a son deer
Gutting animals while I'm insisting what my life's worth
People wanna rule the world, but all we have is dry earth

I'll get a life, I'll get a job, I'll get a hobby
Take a gun and put it to my head so you can rob me
Take me to the grave of my old friend who died of oxy
Take the cells within my brain until I am a proxy
I won't think like that and nobody can stop me
But if I think at all my head feels like it's throbbing
They got me addicted to whatever makes my mind stop
But I know they're hurting me and that is all that I got

There's still revolution in - but no one's talking
Everybody cared until the views would stop logging
I guess everyone would rather move on to the next thing
Government still tries to tap my grandma's phone while text-
AHHH!
Get it?
It is not enough to have it if you never spread it
It is not enough to know when everything is guesses
Far more genuine and far more decrepit

Systems in position cause they wanna keep me stuck here
Struck fear inside me like the headlights to a son deer
Gutting animals while I'm insisting what my life's worth
People wanna rule the world, but all we have is dry earth

People try to twist my view as if they were contortionists
They're rushing velocity
Take some time to fashion a philosophy
Why is my life so disproportionate?
The hole inside my soul is not full even with a Porsche in it
Fortunately, I can just sell my social life and soul just like my family before me!
Make lots of money and regret it all by 40
And retire by the time my bones are all too weak to support me
Just like a lion in the wild desperate for what to kill for
Someone say a brand I can shill for
Maybe by the time I strip my personality
I'll look like I'm worth at least a mil for (I'll kill for it)

You gotta lead or leave little brother
The clock's turning
You need some money
Don't need purpose
You gotta lead or leave little brother
The clock's turning
You need some money
Don't need purpose

Systems in position cause they wanna keep me stuck here
Struck fear inside me like the headlights to a son deer
Gutting animals while I'm insisting what my life's worth
People wanna rule the world, but all we have is dry earth
Systems in position cause they wanna keep me stuck here
Struck fear inside me like the headlights to a son deer
Gutting animals while I'm insisting what my life's worth
People wanna rule the world, but all we have is dry earth

THE HOLE

I GOTTA STOP SMOKIN' THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!

This is my studio version of the previously unreleased "Don't Try" by Gerard Way. He has performed this song quite a few times live, but there has never been a studio version until now. I did all the instruments and vocals based off of live performances I've heard, so excuse me if I get any lyrics wrong. Enjoy!

Don't Try Studio Version (Gerard Way Cover)

Making sounds for the faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
