Remember When...

Remember when we were young, playing superheroes in our underpants

The oldest told us batman wasn't real

So we grew up rather young

And we bled real blood just to act real tough

We realised pretty soon real life is really real

So we cry and crawl, 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!" 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 craw, 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!" 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!"

Days are dark and it all goes wrong

We'll hum a long to our favourite songs

Days are dark and it all goes wrong

We'll hum along to our favourite songs

Days are dark and it all goes wrong

We'll hum along to our favourite songs

Days are dark and it all goes wrong

We'll hum along to our favourite songs, favourite songs, favourite songs

They say, "That's life!" 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
