The Parlotones - Remember When Lyrics

Remember when we were young playing superheroes in our underpants
The olders 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 we crawl and we learn to walk
Pretty soon we all fall down
And 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
And we learned 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 we crawl and we learn to walk
Pretty soon we all fall down and 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

When days are dark and it all goes wrong
We'll hum along to our favourite songs

Days are dark, it all goes wrong
We'll hum along to our favourite songs

Days are dark, it all goes wrong
We'll hum along to our favourite songs

Days are dark, 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
