Working Class Hero

Soon as you're born they make you feel small
Given you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Working class hero is something to be
Working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and hit you at school
Hate you if you're clever and dispise the fool
Till it's so fucking crazy you can't follow the rules
Working class hero is something to be
Working class hero is something to be
When they tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
But you can't really function you're so full of fear
Working class hero is something to be
Working class hero is something to be
Keep it dope with religion, your sex and tv
You think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
Working class hero is something to be
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
You wanna be like the folks on the hill
Working class hero is something to be
Working class hero is something to be
If you wanna be a hero then just follow me
If you wanna be a hero then just follow me...
