When we 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 we walk down the street
See the stranger who says
Why, hi, well, how you doing, buddy
When you walked on by
I thought I`d say hello

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 every night
Haven`t I seen you round

(Chorus)
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
That`s all we`ll be
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
Is all that we`re gonna be
If we don`t get together
Make a new plan and
Be constantly better
All that we`ll be if we
Don`t get it together now

When we walk down the street
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 we walk down the street
If you`re sorry
Then don`t feel bad
If you follow my story
I`m just as 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 every night
Haven`t you seen me round

(Chorus)

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero, no
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero....
