Working Class Hero

LETRA

Working Class Hero

As soon as your 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,
CORO:
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 fuc*** crazy you can't follow their rules,

CORO

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,

CORO

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fuc*** peasents as far as I can see,

CORO

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,

CORO

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
