Originally by John Lennon As soon as your born they make you feel small,<br> By giving you no time instead of it all,<br> Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,<br> A working class hero is something to be,<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,<br> They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,<br> Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,<br> A working class hero is something to be,<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,<br> Then they expect you to pick a career,<br> When you can't really function you're so full of fear,<br> A working class hero is something to be,<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,<br> And you think you're so clever and classless and free,<br> But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,<br> A working class hero is something to be,<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> There's room at the top they are telling you still,<br> But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,<br> If you want to be like the folks on the hill,<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> A working class hero is something to be.<br> If you want to be a hero well just follow me,<br> If you want to be a hero well just follow me.<br>
