[John Lennon cover]
|
|
As soon as your 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 you're clever and they despise a fool
|
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow 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 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 be
|
|
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,
|
And you think you're so clever and you're 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 learn how to smile as you kill
|
If you want to be like the fool on the hill
|
A 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 be
|
|
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
|
