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 |
