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
  Cos 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
  Cos what you see is what you get
  Try and take control of it
  And not me
    [Chorus:]
  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
    [Chorus]
  You think you're nobody
  And I get all the fun
  But no-one is a nobody
  Everyone is someone
    [Chorus]
  Be what you are
