Green Day Working Class Hero Lyrics
Songwriters: Lennon, John;
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til 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 if you're clever and despise a fool
'Til you're so **** 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 **** 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're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
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

Female Feb 04, 2008 at 03:27 PM by keerthu234star Female Stars

This is the best song i've heard!
i am from India, and here we use the caste system(still :( ), and while listening to this song, i thought they were singing about it too!

#1 Slipknot fan. THIS ISN'T A GREEN DAY SONG!!!!! Imagine that. This is a John Lennon song. I like Heavey metal, but it just so happens that I like other types of music as well. I'm not narrow minded. I'm not a Bigot.


Male Dec 26, 2007 at 12:21 PM by johnlennonlives

This song IS one of the greatest songs ever, but not by Green Day. For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, look up John Lennon-working class hero. The origional. The Best. I think that Green Day did an excellent job at keeping it true to the origional, but it still doesn't compare.


Male Dec 13, 2007 at 11:39 PM by Guitar Legand Male Stars

Green day is the best band ever!
And this song hase a lot of meanig.
this is one of best songs ever written


Female Nov 27, 2007 at 07:37 PM by buz4ever

don't fight.just consider it.before we all end up working class heroes... and even if we don't,being on top of the hill isn't better...wish i could find the middle-if there's such a thing...

Male Sep 15, 2007 at 05:59 PM by dsantiago Male Stars

Great song to bring attention to the international disgrace which is the genocide in the Sudan. We should all hang our heads in shame for allowing this human tragedy to occur in our lifetime. I pray that the suffering will end soon.

#1 skipknot fan, dude, you like marilyn manson? he sung this song, this song is good dude, get over it. peace out, john lennon rules!


Male Aug 30, 2007 at 10:49 PM by BobaFett2040

I'm glad that even someone as popular as Green Day remember where they came from and remember us, normall human beings.


Female Aug 21, 2007 at 04:16 PM by emo_ayumi

Male Aug 19, 2007 at 11:04 PM by truckingman Male Stars

As John Lennon would say, "Power to the People."

hey #1 slipknot fan dude, if some of you don't like Green Day, then why are you here? why don't you go to some other lyrics thing. oh and if you haven't read the last few comments boxes thingies well, Green Day didn't write the song, John Lennon did. so you don't like his song, or something?

Male Aug 09, 2007 at 01:37 AM by tivi Male Stars

I agree with peyton chill, this is a great cover trying to bring a gret song to the new genrations that dont know this lennon song
cheers people


Female Jul 27, 2007 at 06:57 PM by <Peyton>

Chill down people! This song is great, and green day have done a great job. But you gotta hear the original by John Lennon. For even though Green Day rules, John Lennon is a legend. Learn how to know the diffrent everybody! And if we`re talking Green Days best song "Wake Me Up When September End" the best


Male Jul 27, 2007 at 06:59 AM by whomperstomp

you make me sick
this song was originally done by john lennon which was 100 times better then green day could ever be
if your going to post lyrics, post it by the person who actually wrote the song, not some crappy band who decided to coverit
