Dream Street - They Don't Understand Lyrics






They don't understand
No

They say we're just playing games
That it isn't real
But it's what we feel
(Oh yeah)

And they say it doesn't make sense
That we're just wasting time
And they wonder why
(Yeah)

You know we got our own special language
That only we can speak
And parents never know just what it means
(Oh no)

They don't understand
How we communicate
Or so many things
That we do and say

They don't really get what it's all about
No they never can understand
Pokemon

I can't explain
If they don't know why
You see it's everywhere
Well, they must be blind

Pika - what? And geo - who?
It just doesn't prove
They don't have a clue

You know we got our own world to live in
And so far apart
(Oh yes we are)

To make it clear I don't know where to start
(Oh no)

They don't understand
How we communicate
Or so many things
That we do insane

They don't really get
What it's all about
No, They never can understand
Pokemon

No
(Understand Pokemon)

You know we got our own special language
That only we can speak

And parents never know just what it means
(What it means)
What it means

They don't understand how we communicate
Or so many things
That we do insane

They don't really get
What it's all about
No they never can understand
Pokemon

They don't understand how we communicate
Or so many things
That we do and say

They don't really get
What it's all about
No they never can understand
Pokemon

Dream Street They Don't Understand Comments
  1. T.... M....

    Where was this

  2. G.... T....

    The voice of Greg always be the best that notes.

  3. A.... M....

    I always thought of Dream Street as the mini version of NSYNC lol

  4. J.... L....

    This is an awesome Dreamstreet song! They are wearing the same clothes as they did in their It Happens Every Time music video, this concert must've happened the same day that they were filming the video.

  5. A.... K....

    Jesse 🥰

  6. S.... G....

    The crowd didn't go crazy until Jesse McCartney took over haha damn a real star since childhood

  7. D.... D....

    What I never understood was who was supposed to be the front man of the group.

  8. s.... v....

    This song popped into my head out of nowhere

  9. l.... �....

    when i watched this in my dvd i was like 9 years in 2005 or 2006 and thought they were already grown up who loved pokemon that feels right! now i comeback and related their voice to Young Michael Jackson and justin bieber! sorry they disappeared

  10. W.... ....

    Damn this is the perfect representation of late 90s/early 2000s culture right here 😣

  11. C.... S....

    Love this song! Even in 2019

  12. I.... S....

    Jesse's voice aww💖

  13. J.... K....

    they sounded pretty stable. gosh america had the potential to have groups like kpop with the dancing and singing, but they didn't train the dancing enough i guess. but to move around like they did and still sound stable enough, unlike most singers nowadays, is great. they could have been big like kpop is nowadays.

    J.... K....

    J2 Kay the concern from their parents was that they’re wasn’t going to be allocated time for them to continue with their education, they were already being overworked and there were issues with them not being paid straight away for their performances. So their parents pulled the plug on them. To be honest, they weren’t that good, and they came out right when the boyband and girlband craze of the nineties and early 2000’s was dying out. At least we still have Jessie McCartney.

  14. P.... R....

    I've heard about their "Flying without wings" used in a pokemon movie or soundtrack but never this well it's still catchy. Jesse's high pitch almost knocked me down. for a kid he could produce that no wonder he grew up to be a special one.

    P.... R....

    That was westlife tho

  15. C.... M....

    They were a great band and my sister mom and I saw them in a phillipburg mall radio Disney concert when I was 13. But like only half an hour. Too bad they left but they had no choice but to move on

  16. A.... ....

    WHAT THE FUCK

  17. J.... W....

    I still like this years later

  18. F.... C....

    pokemon is how i was introduced to. dream street andi still love them to this dat.

  19. R.... ....

    This was painful to watch. Some of the most embarrassing elements of the late 90s/early 00s right here

    R.... ....

    Reynbowz f you mate

    R.... ....

    Jonathan Wozniak  To be fair, I have to wonder why this song was chosen for the soundtrack. It has nothing to do with Pokemon other than the boys dubbing in the word 'Pokemon' periodically through the song. It's more about the clash between parents and children with parents not knowing what their kids are saying, and the kids feeling comfort in knowing they have something of a 'secret language' to communicate with one another. Specifically, it's like the rising chatroom / text lingo of the turn of the millennium that kept parents guessing, like how some parents thought BRB meant Burning Righteous Bibles, and how ASL meant Alter of Satan Lit. It was relevant at the time, so a song was written about it. Then, out of nowhere, they throw in the world 'Pokemon', and it gets tossed onto the album to fill time on the CD, and make it seem worth the price to buy it. I honestly don't even remember it being in the movie, and if it was, I imagine that it was just in the end credits, again, just to pad out the runtime of the CD.

    R.... ....

    @Zero Fighter It was not in the movie. But it was on the official soundtrack according to Wikipedia.

    R.... ....

    @salamista
    I'm pretty certain it was used in the ending credits, though I admit it's been over a decade since my last viewing of it. My point stands though; I don't see why it was chosen for the soundtrack to begin with.

  20. E.... A....

    #memories

    E.... A....

    Elizabeth Anne did they die?

  21. R.... A....

    1:19 Jesse McCartney is That You!? Hahaha i can't believe haha he's very cool even being a kids.

    R.... A....

    Wow that's so funny 😂

  22. s.... ....

    I love this ❤️

  23. R.... M....

    awesome I miss them  they were a great boy band...

  24. E.... ....

    how i feel towards people not in the pokemon fandom

  25. j.... d....

    damn the early millennium was a solid time for music and pants

  26. Y.... m....

    How the internet will feel to people who don't play Pokemon on October 12th

    Y.... m....

    So, what was supposed to happen on October 12th again? Because people are still playing Pokemon games.

  27. J.... R....

    I know I am an adult now and it's not the most dignified thing to ever admit I ever had a childhood. People might make fun of me and start calling me a kid or immature or something like that. Or gay even.

  28. E.... S....

    More like the early 2000s. I miss the 90s and early 2000s so much!

  29. l.... ....

    Reminds me of my youth doe

  30. l.... ....

    This is terrible

  31. T.... R....

    This is terrible! I'm a nineties kid too but this, this is retarded. Why are people cheering and filming? What kind of tone deaf unmusical disrespectful to Pokémon freaks are they?

  32. M.... ....

    This was the best! I remember them from when I was like 5

  33. M.... T....

    Jesse can get really high and he is a really good stage pro former

  34. C.... P....

    Pokemon is Awsome, I don't get why people make fun of it

  41. X.... V....

  65. t.... ....

  66. t.... ....

    @RawrrItsAshh cuz it's about friggin Pokemon lmao

  67. S.... E....

    omg wen jesse started singing i got goosebumps cuz i never new about dis group n out of no where i started tearing up lol wth XD

  68. J.... P....

    and the funny thing is, is that he spent a majority of this performance on the side, yet Jesse is the only one who actually has a major career xD

  69. A.... A....

    i cant get enough with jesse.I've watched this for more than 10 times

  70. l.... ....

    i love the songs....anybody kno all there names i dont thats y i asked....sorry but they got talint.

  71. O.... D....

    "That dancing requires major skill !"
    HAHAHA
    you guys are awesome.

  72. A.... A....

    jesse is the best its perfect when he hits the high note

  73. O.... F....

    that dancing requires major skill.!

  74. B.... S....

    AWESOME!!

  75. L.... B....

    no really!!!! i didn't know that! DUHHH. everyone know's that. XD

  76. I.... ....

    Dream Street's moves were sooo much better than the older boybands like nsync and backstreet boys. Plus they brought the BOY back in boyband :)

  77. T.... ....

    They disgust me. They look retarded. They also try too hard to be cool. With the main guys stupid "Uh-oh mmm mmm uh-oh". Look at what they are wearing. the only two that look appropriate and are wearing close that fit them nicely, are the two blond boys. The words aren't bad, but they are really trying too hard to be like other boy bands.

    T.... ....

    Hahaha this comment always made me laugh hysterically and it still does. The kid in the red shirt is appropriately dressed, but I do agree with you on the kid in the blue jacket, with the "Uh oh, ooh ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah", so obnoxious. Keep in mind, these guys were 12-14 year-olds at the time, so it's expected that they would think they're hot shit and act like older boy bands

  78. A.... A....

    bro u can tell its jesse it still sounds like him excpet hes younger

  79. H.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG! I sing along with it

  80. o.... ....

    jesseeeeeeeee< 3

  81. J.... ....

    How do you not know that that's Jesse Mc Cartney. One thing's for sure, this band truly is missed, and Jesse sent a better message to his fans as a kid than an adult.

  82. s.... ....

    whos the boy with the black shirt????

  83. C.... N....

    lol, nice

  84. H.... ....

    How old r they in this vid?

  85. H.... ....

    Go dream street!

  86. H.... ....

    THEY BREAK UP!?

  87. A.... K....

    Wow can Jesse really hit the high notes!!!

  88. Q.... K....

    Cuz the producers wanted them to quiz school and focus totally on the group. The parents didn't like that, and then they found out one of the producers was into teen porn. So then they all got into some legal issues and so the result was Dream Street was disbanded, and they weren't allowed to perform as a group again. I dunno if that prohibits a reunion tour someday.

  89. g.... ....

    lol jesse is over here 13 and they are all 15 :P

  90. R.... C....

    Why the heck do I like this song? XD

  91. M.... K....

    yea. they had to be close to the time they made their "It Happens Everytime" vid. They're wearing the exact same clothes! lol

  92. m.... ....

    i miss them i try not to remember that they spilt up 4 a long long time

  93. G.... H....

    hey, how come Matt didnt have a solo?? that's sad.. well, he's still cool..
    brings bak such wonderful memories.. watching dream street perform.. hehe..
