Working Class Hero Lyrics

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
