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 beThey 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 beWhen 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 beKeep 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 beThere'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 beA 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 beIf you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
