I think it's time we talked this over
I think you've taken this too far
I never wanted to be different
Didn't ask to be nobody's star
Try and take control of it
Cause what you see is what you get
Try and take control of it
And not me

You say there's talk of revolution - so what's new?
You say there's fighting in the air
You think that I've got the solutions
But do you really think that's fair?
Try and take control of it
Cause what you see is what you get
Try and take control of it
And not me

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Don't wanna be nobody's hero
Don't wanna be nobody's star
Don't wanna be nobody's hero
Get up get out be what you are

You think it's time you took me over
To do what you can't do yourself
But don't let heroes get your kicks for you
It's up to you and no-one else
Try and take control of it
Cos what you see is what you get
Try and take control of it
And you'll see

<i>[Chorus]</i>
You think you're nobody
And I get all the fun
But no-one is a nobody
Everyone is someone

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Be what you are
