Working Class Hero
John Lennon As soon as you're born they make you feel small 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 By giving you no time instead of it all 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 Then they expect you to pick a career 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 When you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV A working class hero is something to be But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see And you think you're so clever and classless and free There's room at the top they are telling you still A working class hero is something to be 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 |
