Yesterday's Hero

When I walk down the street

See the people who stop and stare and say

Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago

When I walk down the street

See the stranger who says

Why, Hi,

With a

How you going, Buddy,

When you walked on by I thought I'd say hallo

They say:

Haven't I seen your face before

Weren't you the boy that used to live next door

Weren't you on television ev'ry night

Haven't I seen you round

Take a look at me

I'm Yesterday's Hero

Yesterday's Hero

that's all I be.

Take a look at me

I'm Yesterday's Hero

And Yesterday's Hero

is all that I'm gonna be

If I don't get together

make a new start

and be somebody better

AII that I'll be if

I don't get together now.

VVhen you walk down the street

now

If you know me

then pass me by

If you wonder what

I'm doing don't ask me why

I don't read the news.

When you walk down the street

If you're sorry then don't feel bad

If you followed my story

then just be glad

You ain't in my shoes.

Because

Haven't you seen my face before

Yes

I was the boy

who used to live next door

Yes

I was on television ev'ry night

Haven't you seen me round.

Take a look at me

I'm Yesterday's Hero [...]
