Yesterday’s Hero Songtext
von Bay City Rollers

We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers

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,"
With a, "How you going, 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 ev′ry night
Haven′t I seen you round?


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
A yesterday's hero
Is all that we′re be 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 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 followed 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 ev'ry night,
Haven′t you seen me round?

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
A yesterday′s hero
Is all that
We're be 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 together now.

(Spoken:
Ladies and gentlemen the Bay City Rollers. Everybody move back, move back please, here you go, back, back)

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
