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 to take control of it

Cos what you see is what you get

Try to 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 to take control of it

Cos what you see is what you get

Try to take control of it and not me



(Chorus:)

Don't wanna be nobody's hero

I 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 to take control of it

Cos what you see is what you get

Try to take control of it and you'll see



(Chorus)



You think you're nobody, and I have all the fun

But no one is a nobody, everyone is someone



(Chorus)

Be what you are
