Do You Remember?
Hüsker Dü Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We do it all for fun you know,
Jump and shout and scream.
Get loaded after the show,
It's all part of our scheme.
Don't hate us cause we're just kids
No that wouldn't be fair.
People say we're behind the times
Go ahead and see if I care.

Do you remember?
When you were our age?
Do you remember?

Do you remember?
When you were our age?
Do you remember?

We do it all for fun you know,
Jump and shout and scream.
We get loaded after the show,
It's all part of our scheme.
Don't hate us cause we're just kids
No that wouldn't be fair.
People say we're behind the times
Go ahead and see if I care.

Do you remember?
When you were our age?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?




Do you remember?
Do you remember?
