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?"

Wehn we walk down the street

See the stranger who say 

"Why hi! Well how you doin' 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?"


*We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero

A Yesterday's hero

That's all we'll be

We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero

A yesterday's hero

That's 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 than pass me by

If you wonder what I'm doin'

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?


spoken: Ladies and gentlemen,

The Bay City Rollers....

everybody move back

will you go, will you move back...back!"


We don't wanna be yesterday's hero,

yesterday's hero,

No, no

We don't wanna be yesterday's hero,

Yesterday's hero,

No, no
