As soon as you're born they make you feel small
|
By giving you no time, instead of at all
|
Till 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 be
|
|
They hit you at home and they hurt you at school
|
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
|
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow the rules
|
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
|
They've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
|
Then they expect you to pick a career
|
Till 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 be
|
|
Keep you doped with religion, 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
|
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
|
There's room at the top
|
I am telling you still
|
But first you must learn how to smile while 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 be
|
|
Well, if you want to be a hero then just follow me
|
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
