Working Class Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 2]
They hurt you at home and hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Until you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 2]
They hurt you at home and hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Until you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 4]
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 5]
There's room at the top they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile when you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Outro]
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 5]
There's room at the top they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile when you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Outro]
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
