  • 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 fuckin' 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 tryna 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!
