As soon as you're born they make you feel small
|
By giving you no time instead of it 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 hurt you at home and they hit you at school
|
They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool
|
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't fallow their rules
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
|
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
|
Ah 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 be
|
|
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
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
|
There's room at the top they are telling you still
|
But first you must smile as you learn how to kill
|
But if you want to be like the folks on the hill
|
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
A working class hero is something to be
|
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
|
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
|
Just follow me
|
