Working Class Hero

As soon as you're born they make you feel small

Givin' you no time 'sted of it all

The pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero it's something to be

A working class hero it's something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at schoool

They hate you if you're clever and they dispise a fool

You're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

A working class hero it's something to be

A working class hero it's 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

A working class hero it's something to be

A working class hero it's something to be

They keep you doped with religion, and sex and T.V.

You think you're so clever and class-less and free

You're still fucking pesents as far as I can see

A working class hero it's something to be

A working class hero it's something to be

There's room at the top they are tellin' you still

First you must learn how to smile as you kill

You wanna be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero it's something to be

A working class hero it's something to be

You wanna be a hero then just follow me

You wanna be a hero then just follow me
