Working Class Hero |
| 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 classless and free |
| But you’re still fucking peasents 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 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 |
