Working Class Hero Lyrics

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
be 

They 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 rules

A working class hero is something to be

A
working class hero is something to be 

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

A working class hero is
something to be

A working class hero is something to be 

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

A
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
hill

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is
something to be 

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

If you
want to be a hero well just follow me
