46 Brigade Yesterday's Hero Lyrics

you can play the victim, and let me take the blame
slander my name around, bury me in shame
you can hope for pity, I'll just play along
comforted deep within the rhythm of this song

and i'll hold my head up high
refusing to live a lie
and i'll roll with the changes to this picture we painted

you can lift the anchor and let me drift away
into the emptiness forever and a day
and if one day you find me, washed up on the shore
please know that i tried so hard, but i could fight no more

cos when the wings of an angel fly under an angry sky everything changes, best friends become strangers

so i'll go on playing yesterday's hero
drift along as yesterday's hero
i'll be yesterday's hero

i wish i could fix this and turn it all around
regrow the seeds of love, and rise up from the ground
but sometimes the hill's too high
a mountain that can't be climbed
and the fool's the pretender who can't face surrender

so i'll go on playing yesterday's hero
drift along as yesterday's hero
on and on playing yesterday's hero
na na no no oh no
i'll be yesterday's hero
