You say we're finished but I'm only getting started
I've been denied to join the broken-hearted
A free state of mind is only temporary
The rich are getting rich while the poor are getting ready

Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall it wasn't nothing special

Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

I stand accused of being disregarded
Just for the record I'm now your dear departed
I saw the light when it started getting heavy
You try to shake it up instead of going steady

Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall it wasn't nothing special

Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

For your information, just so you know
I quit the rescue business long time ago
Who's gonna help you in your hour of need?
Are you gonna stand there and let it bleed?

Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall you're really nothing special

Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright
