Got Each Other
The Interrupters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can come with us
If you don't have friends or family
Or people that you trust
We will be your confidants
Your sisters and your brothers
We don't have much but we got each other
Through all the heartache
We find a way to smile
And if you were in trouble
I'd walk ten thousand miles
And when that storm comes around
Well I will be your cover
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other
Hard luck and tough times
Always around the bend
Without your love and friendship
And a kind hand to lend
Well I'd be so lost
Out to sea without a rudder
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other
Make our home in this sacred ground
We've been here for years
Solid in foundation
The blood, the sweat, and tears
Raise your voice, stand side by side
And we will sing forever
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other
If you are alone tonight
You can come with us
If you don't have friends or family
Or people that you trust
We will be your confidants
Your sisters and your brothers
You ready?
1, 2, 3, 4!
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other
We don't have much but we got each other

Is there seriously a better song ever written? This song sums up everything that is good about punk rock and the culture that drives it. Who gives a fuck who you are, everyone needs someone sometime and punk is the home where the light is always on!
