Lennon John - Working Class Hero lyrics

As soon as you're 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><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><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 peasants 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><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><br>If you want to be a hero well just follow me<br>If you want to be a hero well just follow me
