[Originally by Stiff Little Fingers]
i think it time we talk this over
i think you've taking it to far
i never wanted to be different
i didn't have to be nobody's star
try to take control of it cause what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it on me.
you say theres talk of revolution
you say theres fighting in the air.
you think that i got disillusion
but do you really think that's fair.
try to take control of it cause
what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it on me.
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
your think it time you took me over
do what you can do yourself
but don't let hero get your kicks for you
it's up to you and no one else.
try to take control of it cause
what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it and you'll see
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
you think your nobody
and i have all the fun
but no ones nobody
everyone is some one
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
be what you are [x18]
