My Chemical Romance: Tomorrow's Money Meaning

Tomorrow's Money Lyrics

Fell in love with a vampire
You want to get it for free
Say hello to the brush fire, baby
You want to take it from me
I'm gonna take it from you

Say hello to the good times
Burning up in the sun
You're sitting back on an empire...

   I see this song being about the future, where "they've got machines to keep us alive", which means that there are no risks anymore because the consequences are non existent.
   The falling in love with a vampire could, as the first opinion stated, be about Gerard in their first album. It could also relate to how people might've started to take them for granted, so they decided to do something to surprise the world, hence them breaking up.
   The second part of the chorus may point out how people don't look for the truth in anything anymore, simply choking down the words because that's what everyone else is doing.
   The third part of the chorus, "I stopped bleeding three years ago while you keep screaming for revolution" could possibly be this, though it's a bit out there: three years ago from Conventional Weapons would be roughly the time of Danger Days, so he could be saying that some were inspired by that album and kept screaming for something powerful like it, and he's telling them that it's their turn to keep it going in the future.
   "Me and my surgeons and my street walking friends, we got no heroes cause our heroes are dead" may mean that, in the future, they don't admire or respect anyone because the only decent people are now dead.
   "Words lose their meaning when we all look the same" is fairly self explanatory: when everyone tries to be like someone else, even if that's a good thing, it nullifies the meaning of their words.
   "Rebellion's not a t-shirt you sell, you keep your money and I'll see you in hell" means that you can't start a rebellion based upon who has the money to do it, but rather by who has the heart for it and the willingness to be put through hell for what they believe.

   When the world first met them, Gerard was a fucking vampire, and now they're gonna light the whole fucker up. It's gonna be so much better from now on, the new stuff is gonna be rad.
   
   The head cheeses and the rest of the nation are still sat on their ass putting kids in the middle of a war they don't need to fight.
   
   
   written while coming down from the last black parade tour, maybe during, who the hell knows. They were crashing, we thought they were done, THEY thought they were done, but something kept them around. Maybe the drive to change the fact that the top 40 these days don't mean a damn thing.
   
   
   They stopped fighting against the ass-kicking the world hands people who try to outright fix it, but we still thought we needed their music to save us.
   They were fucking celebrities because they were the black parade, but the point of the black parade was that they were dead, and what good is a hero that can no longer save anyone?
   
   With parade, it was like fans were falling in love all over again by taking this heady shot of emotion and meaning straight to the heart, all from their words, it would save our lives if we took what they were giving us. We thought it would save us and so did they, but all the death and destruction and pain of the parade ended up nearly killing them, only amped up our own self-destructive tendencies. We parroted their words, sometimes without even thinking.
   
   The new album is gonna be about fucking subverting the leaking asshole that is society, but if MCR go down in the fight, we'll all go with them. That's how it's always been.
   
   Basically: Everything we (mcr) have done before is peas next to what's coming up. We're building the great goddamned wall of china.
