Together we cry
Together we cry
Jenny was a poor girl
Living in a rich world
Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world
For this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
Well she gets that call
Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way
But nothing left inside
Together we cry!
What about the junk head
Could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal
Now he's lighting up the wrong way
"Something for the pain!"
Man you wanna see this kid he was so f@#kin' unreal
When he gets that call
He's too far gone
To get it together to sing one song
They won't hear tonight
The words of a lullaby
Together we cry
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together we cry
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa
Together we cry
Oh we cry we cry we cry
Together we cry
Oh we cry we cry
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa
Oh Mary's ambitious
She wanna to be a politician
She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she'd be the one to change the world
Always trying to pave the way for women in a�¢?�¦man's world
But life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits the jar, checks that don't go very far now
Now she in it can't change it, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages!
Together we cry
Together we cry
There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go
Leave home
Where they go?
Who knows!
Getting drunk
Getting stoned
All alone
Teach a man to fish
And feed him for life
You show your kids the truth
Hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better
"Bet your sorry now! I won't be coming home tonight"
I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry!
Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry

My fav line is - But the fall doesnt fall too far from the tree :)
Great song ! I love it how The Script talks about real life as it is on their songs - eventually ending up with masterpieces of very very genuine and relatable songs. I hope there's a lot of bands like The Script out there, as nowadays, we're used to seeing and hearing bands that are just flat out pretentious and obvious industry puppets with their tongue-in-cheek and cheap lyrics :/
I listened to a radio interview the guys did back in August in Ireland. They said the inspiration for the incidents in 'We Cry' (teen pregnancy, drugs, drink etc) came from what they saw happening on a regular basis in really rough parts of Dublin (where they grew up).
The meaning is pretty straightforward. All three people mentioned in the song had ambitons and hopes for a better world, but it never happened.
I'm thinking the meaning of the line 'Together We Cry...' is since all three have been let down by life, they're all in a similar sad situation. So they cry together.
"There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken"
And it's not "what about the junk head"
It says here:
"What about the John Play"
You'll feed him never lie
Is "you feed a man for life"
There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for the world is broken
I really like this song. I think the meaning is very easy to intepret. Young men and women's hopes for a good life shattered in the blink of an eye.
