Gerard Way - Juarez Lyrics






I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I can't swim, so plug it in
Me and my heavy metal master

Down and around when the cops go down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Sing death to the crown, man

I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I'm greg ginn
I'm running skin
I'm selling glitter for the plaster
Down and around when the cops go down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Sing death to the crown, man

We got it. You got it. I want it. I want it now

I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I can't swim, so plug it in
Me and my heavy, my heavy girl
Down and around when the cops go down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Get straight cuz I'm down, man

I can't swim

    I can’t swim *dont rub it in*

    All the comments: YOU STILL CANT SWIM?!

  15. E.... R....

    Las partes en español son el motivo de mi existencia

  16. H.... m....

    Gives me nirvana vibes

  17. T.... E....

    according to google this is what he says when hes speaking spanish
    "This is what I want to be, dreaming I want more, breathing heat, I'm changing the sun, I'm changing my center, I'm burning the temporary shadows of guns"

    T.... E....

    I noticed he has spoken Spanish in a few songs. He probably knows it well,

  18. T.... C....

    want to take swim classes with me? Haha, great song though

  19. C.... ....

    If I die in a drowning accident. Please play this at my funeral.

    C.... ....

  20. M.... P....

    it’s okay, I can’t swim either

  21. o.... o....

    Does anyone else hear a bit of nirvana in this?

  22. S.... U....

    *14 years ago* Ray: “You can’t swim”
    *4 years ago* gerard: “i can’t swim don’t rub it in.”
    *10 years from now* gerard: “I STILL CAN’T SWIM! DON’T RUB IT IN!”
    *this year.* Party poison: “FUN GHOUL YOU KNOW I CAN’T SWIM STOP RUBBIN IT IN!”

  23. D.... D....

    I love how he sings "I can't swim don't rub it in" like doN'T BLAME US THAT WAS RAY

  24. R.... T....

    Gerard I will help you swim, so don’t worry buddy.

  25. J.... B....

    Any translation for the Spanish? Thanks!

    J.... B....

    "this is what i want to be, dreaming i want more, breathing heat
    I'm changing the sun
    I'm changing my centre
    I'm burning the temporary shadows of guns" Sorry if this isn't totally accurate, english is not my first language

  26. b.... ....

    I hope you learn how to swim gee

  27. t.... c....

    why does 0:04 sound like a helicopter fart
    ik im 4 yrs late lol 2018 anyone?

  28. E.... J....

    MY LAST NAME IS JUAREZ AND THIS SONG MAKE ME HAPPY :,)

  29. a.... ....

    I love this song so much like 😤😤

  30. B.... ....

    HoW HOT. Thought Gerard was fit since I was like 11 and a big emo ahahahah but he iS

  31. I.... F....

    The drummer for this album is complete garbage.

  32. K.... P....

    Sequel to "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"

  33. K.... K....

    He also can’t dance and doesn’t know karate

  34. M.... R....

    *Input cringe MCR comment here instead of actually showing appreciation for the song*

  35. M.... R....

    Can we just appreciate Gee's solo work for once instead of bringing up MCR every two seconds. If you actually cared about the artists you love, why bash them and mention times when they were obviously unhappy? 💙

  36. C.... ....

    You cannot swim yet, Gerard? Stop bringing that shit already

  37. J.... R....

    Lmao I remember when I was in my emo phase singing I'm not okay the first day of school planning to die that year. Survived I guess. Good thing I got out.

  38. P.... P....

    *me and my heavy, my heavy girl*

    *T R I G G E R E D*

  39. S.... C....

    Eres un talento,que w0w!!!!!te admiro tanto

  40. P.... e....

    When will Gerard finally be able to swim ? X'D

  41. I.... T....

    "you like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet.*You can't swim*, you can't dance and you don't know karate. Face it, you're never gonna make it."

  42. T.... ....

    I’ll teach you to swim

  43. M.... ....

    My favorite song was published the day before my birthday

  44. j.... ....

    I really love this song! It's my favorite from Hesitant Alien and I really think it deserves more recognition, even now.

  45. B.... D....

    This sounds like Danger Days.

  46. m.... k....

    KJEFHBHUYVUKCV I LOVE HIM

  47. i.... j....

    this is my last name

  48. P.... A....

    I can't swim, don't rub it in
    I'm gonna run a little faster
    I can't swim, so plug it in
    Me and my heavy metal master

    [Chorus]
    Down and around when the cops go down and
    Down and around when the cops come down on you
    Jump around to the cop-show sound
    Sing death to the crown, man

    [Bridge 1]
    Esto es lo que quiero ser, soñando quiero más, respirando calor, estoy cambiando el sol, estoy cambiando mi centro, estoy quemando las sombras temporales de pistolas

    [Verse 2]
    I can't swim, don't rub it in
    I'm gonna run a little faster
    I'm Greg Ginn, I'm running scared
    I'll sell the glitter for the plaster

    [Chorus]
    Down and around when the cops go down and
    Down and around when the cops come down on you
    Jump around to the cop-show sound
    Sing death to the crown, man

    P.... A....

    could you hear what it says in Spanish!!1!2!!2!2! I love u

  49. I.... ....

    You cant swim, you cant dance and you dont know karate. Face it, you're never gonna make it.

  51. T.... i....

    I'm sorry, but the beginning sounds like one of those "every song played at once" videos! haha.


    (I'm joking of course, I love Gee.)

  52. E.... K....

    🤘🏻

  53. L.... t....

    👌👌👌👌👌

  54. y.... ....

    I finally realized that he was speaking in spanish in one of the verses.

  55. P.... p....

    10 years later, he still cant swim, do karate or dance

  56. d.... r....

    It’s been 10 years and he still can’t swim

    d.... r....

    rainydreaming if you were a true MCR fan you would understand

    d.... r....

    I´m not okay, girl

    d.... r....

    ... don't rub it in though... *I'm not okay right now (I promise)* ♥️♥️

    d.... r....

    @Darknesseverdeen 900 some people only know him for his solo work, not just mcr.

  57. R.... W....

    I can't swim and my mom wants me to learn so I'm like "Fuck that shit, I don't need to" So she goes "And what if you in an emergency where you do need to?" so I sigh and under my breath I say 'then I die', she asks what I said and I go "Gerard Way can't swim either, why do I need to? I don't wanna swim in a goddamn ocean anyway. Plus we were born to die anyway..." she gets this confused look on her face so I explain "If we are born to die and we all die to live then what's the point of learning how the fuck to fuckin' swim? It's not important." then she zoned out thinking about it and I just walked out. I'm 14 fucking years young and I made my own mother rethink everything she's been taught simply because I don't wanna swim.
