Don't Cry Lyrics
Come on, little boy - I am your friend
And I understand the pain you're in.
You've seen your mom come -
Come home dreaming.
In the rain when you wash -
You can't fade it.
Come on, little boy. You don't need to cry.
You don't need to cry your eyes out.
Come on, kid! Keep your head up and fight.
You don't need to understand the reasons why
Oh why oh why oh why oh
(Your mansions are fading still)
And I understand the pain you're in.
Come home dreaming.
In the rain when you wash -
You can't fade it.
You don't need to cry your eyes out.
Come on, kid! Keep your head up and fight.
You don't need to understand the reasons why
Oh why oh why oh why oh

The boy just wants to know why, but he doesn't need to because it doesn't matter. Its gold.
From the liner notes:
Come on, little boy - I am your friend, and I understand the pain you're in.
You've seen your mom come - come home dreaming. In the rain, when you wash - you can't fake it.
Come on, little boy. You don't need to cry. You don't need to cry your eyes out. Come on, kid! Keep your head up and - (sigh)... You don't need to understand the reasons why oh why oh why oh...
(Your mansions are fading still)
Bradford Cox mentioned at a recent show in cleveland that he wrote this song as a tribute to pere ubu.
