    This super-cool 7" is pressed on red vinyl and packaged to look like a classic 70s RCA UK single, complete with cheeky stock sleeve and punch-out center. Nifty.

lyrics

When I walk down the street,
See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago

When I walk down the street,
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"
With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello

They say:
Haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round

Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all I be.

Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
If I don't get together,
Make a new start and be somebody better,
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.

When you walk down the street, now,
If you know me, then pass me by,
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news

When you walk down the street,
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,
If you followed my story, then just be glad,
You ain't in my shoes

Because,
Haven't you seen my face before,
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
Haven't you seen me round.

Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, YESTERDAY'S HERO ...

about

Hard Left image

Hard Left Oakland, California

Hard Left is a political punk band inspired by liberatory leftist movements of the past and present. Our music is a soundtrack for direct action, an invitation to critical thought and a challenge to complacency. We privilege the "we" over the "I" and argue for the centrality of class struggle in our collective battle against neoliberalism, authoritarianism and imperialism. ... more
