Working Class Hero

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As soon as your born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at all [Chorus] A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be [Verse 2] They hurt you at home and hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool Until you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules [Chorus] A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be [Verse 3] When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear [Chorus] A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be [Verse 4] Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see [Chorus] A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be [Verse 5] There's room at the top they're telling you still But first you must learn how to smile when you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill [Chorus] A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be [Outro] If you want to be a hero then just follow me If you want to be a hero then just follow me
