Remember When...
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Remember when we were young, playing superheroes in our underpants
Then the oldest told us batman wasn't real
So we grew up rather young
We bled real blood just to act real tough
We realised pretty soon real life is really real
So we cry and crawl and we learn to walk
Pretty soon we all fall down
We laugh and we dance we all make love
And we break our hearts, we all fall down
They say, "That's life!"
We're born into this world with no book of rules
Welcome to the hard knock school
They say, "That's life!"
Remember when we were young, playing cops and robbers just for fun
Then our neighbourhoods filled up, filled up with real guns
So we learnt real quick that life is sick
when we couldn't fix the problem with a crucifix
It was times like these we wished batman was real
So we cry and crawl and we learn to walk
Pretty soon we all fall down
We laugh and we dance we all make love
And we break our hearts, we all fall down
They say, "That's life!"
We're born into this world with no book of rules
Welcome to the hard knock school
They say, "That's life!"
When days are dark and it all goes wrong
We'll just hum along to our favourite songs
They say, "That's life!"
We're born into this world with no book of rules
Welcome to the hard knock school
They say, "That's life!
We're older now but not braver,
Voting for supposed saviours
And it's times like these we wish batman was real
