Working Class Hero

Working Class Hero lyrics

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThey hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rulesA working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beWhen 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 fearA working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beKeep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can seeA working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hillA working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beIf you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
