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
Working Class Hero is something to be
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 despise a fool
Till you re so fucking crazy you can t follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
When they ve tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
then they expect you to pick a career
When you can t really function you re so full of fear
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.
and you think you re so clever and classless and free
but you re still fucking peasents as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
There s room at the top I m 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Yes , 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
