need an 8 letter word to answer:

One by One we come to life
then side-by-side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come early, some come later)
And some of us may bore you,
And some of us enthrall,
But you cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all
We'll be bound together tightly
For we're naught if we break free
If you'd like some clues about us
Simply answer: Who are we.

my first response was a book, but its not 8 letters.

My first thought was molecule, but I really only get that from the whole taking one and all part. Can't see how the rest would apply, and how many riddles ask about shit like molecules anyways?

Bacteria? ;p

i figured it out, but i will leave it unanswered for a day to see if anyone can get it.

American?

The answer is Backstreet Boys.

(Props and positive rep to anyone who knows what I am alluding to, so long as the nazi's allow it.)

You're obviously not alluding to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

If its a riddle, i would say; Mellon :D

"Simply answer: Who are we."

Uhmm.. that's 8 letters right there ;) Note that it isn't a question..

handcuff

Mellon

Democrat?!

Clue: What my first response was, wasn't too far off.

Syllable?

That is what Gollum should have asked Bilbo...... then I wouldn't have had to read the other three long ass books....

Cemetery?

chapters...Greystone is a Harry Potter dork (I solved this for my little sister yesterday)

Sounds a lot like pubic hair, but I can't think of anything else. :(

Chapters is the right answer. So what if i am a fan of harry potter, its a good story.
