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 a long 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 |
