Yesterday's Hero
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We play for the fun, we run for the glory
And it all seems to happen so fast
You used to love me, but now you ignore me
And my name is a thing of the past
I didn't ask you for fortune and fame
I was happy to do with the love
You made me a hero, and I played the game
Well I gave all I had
But I guess it just wasn't enough
Now listen to our say
Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)
Have you seen a tiger, when he is in danger
How he runs from the scene of the crime
Now I didn't listen, to my intuition
It was there in the back of my mind
I guess I should have seen it coming
Well it happened before
And it was only a matter of time
Now everybody say
Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)
We play for the fun, we run for the glory
And it all seems to happen so fast
You used to love me, but now you ignore me
And my name is a thing of the past
I feel the best
Now I won't be a Yesterday's Hero
Yesterday's Hero
You call me a Yesterday's Hero
