[Intro]
Okay, I'll try, okay?
[Verse 1]
As soon as you're 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
[Refrain]
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
[Verse 3]
When they tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
Whеn you can't really function, you're so full of fear
[Refrain]
A working class hеro is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
[Verse 4]
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
You think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
[Refrain]
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
[Verse 5]
"There's room at the top", they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile when you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
[Refrain]
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
[Outro]
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
