Remember when you were young How the hero was never hung Always got away Remember, how the man Used to leave you empty handed Always, always let you down If you ever change your mind About leaving it all behind Remember, remember, today Don't feel sorry 'Bout the way it's gone Don't you worry 'Bout what you've done Just remember when you were small How people seemed so tall Always had their way Do you remember, your ma and pa Just wishing for movie stardom Always, always playing a part If you ever feel so sad And the whole world is driving you mad Remember, remember today Don't feel sorry 'Bout the way it's gone Don't you worry 'Bout what you've done Remember, remember today The 5th
