Like many tracks included on The Final Cut, "The Hero's Return" had – under its original title "Teacher, Teacher" – been previously rejected from The Wall. Guitarist David Gilmour was opposed to this recycling of songs, believing that if they "weren't good enough for The Wall, why are they good enough now?"[3][full citation needed]
Like many other tracks on The Final Cut, "The Hero's Return" featured anti-war lyrics. The lyrics of "The Hero's Return" are almost entirely rewritten from its "Teacher, Teacher" demo version.
Retitled as "The Hero's Return (Parts 1 and 2)" with an extra verse absent from The Final Cut version, the song was released as the B-side of "Not Now John", also from The Final Cut, in 1983. Despite not being released as an A-side to a single, "The Hero's Return" charted at #31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in America.[4]

"The Hero's Return" es una canción del álbum The Final Cut de 1983 de Pink Floyd. La canción (originalmente titulada "Teacher, Teacher") fue introducida en el home demo de Roger Waters para The Wall en 1978. Nunca fue tocada en vivo por ningún miembro de la banda, aunque una versión extendida, con una nueva estrofa y retitulada "The Hero's Return (Parts 1 & 2)" fue lanzada como lado B del sencillo de Not Now John.
[ru] The Hero’s Return
«The Hero’s Return» (с англ. — «Возвращение героя») — песня британской прогрессивной рок-группы Pink Floyd[1][2]. Как и многие песни, вошедшие в The Final Cut, «The Hero’s Return» — под первоначальным названием «Teacher, Teacher» — ранее должен был входить в альбом The Wall, но по итогу был отклонён. Гитарист Дэвид Гилмор был против такой переработки песен, полагая, что если они «были недостаточно хороши для The Wall, то почему они достаточно хороши сейчас?»[3].
