Working Class Hero - John Lennon

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
