Well, I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be granting your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said, hey hallelujah
I'm gonna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days
Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
And say, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
S-I-N. I S-I-N.{x4)
You play ring around the ambulance
Well like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/my_chemical_romance/house_of_wolves.html ]
Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
And say, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
You better run like the devil,
Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley
Cause they're never gonna find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
I've been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
GO!
GO!
GO!
Well I said say, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man
It is about a man who is now laying in his death bed remembering what an awful sinner he was in his youth so now he wants someone to tell him hes a good man so he can (think that he will) go to heaven. I'm 14 and i figured this out... But he realizes moments before his death that what he did was unforgivable and that he is doomed to hell.

Its was based on that episode in loony toons when the cyote goes down to the underworld and he findes himself in a jazz club where they are all wolves
I think it's about someone-- and since this is on the black parade album, i'm guessing it's the patient-- who sinned at some point, and now that he know's he's going to die, he wants to be forgiven. And he's not sure if he will be, that's why it keeps going from "tell me i'm an angel" to "tell me i'm a bad man". But then near the end the angel part goes away and he's just saying he's a bad man, so he figures that he wont be forgiven and that he is doomed to hell.
