We play for the fun
And 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 rescue
For fortune or fame
I was happy to do it for love

You made me a hero
And I played the game
Well I gave what I hade
And I guess it just wasn't enough

Now listen to them say
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero

Well you called me the best
Now you call me yesterday's hero
Have you seen a tiger
When he is in danger
How he runs from the scene of the crime

But 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's happened before
And it was only a matter of time

Now everybody says
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero

Well you called me the best
Now you call me yesterday's hero

(Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero
(Yesterday's Hero)

We play for the fun
And 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

Oh Yeah
Now listen to them say
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero
'Here he comes...
Yesterday's Hero

I'm still the best
And I won't be Yesterday's Hero
(Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero
(Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero
(Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero
