Lyrics

[00:04.97] As soon as you're born they make you feel small
[00:12.08] By giving you no time instead of it all
[00:19.81] Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
[00:28.04] A working class hero is something to be
[00:35.76] A working class hero is something to be
[00:42.43]
[00:43.43] They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
[00:50.90] They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
[00:58.56] Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
[01:06.76] A working class hero is something to be
[01:14.48] A working class hero is something to be
[01:20.45]
[01:22.00] When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
[01:29.92] Then they expect you to pick a career
[01:37.39] When you can't really function you're so full of fear
[01:45.21] A working class hero is something to be
[01:53.07] A working class hero is something to be
[01:58.93]
[02:00.78] Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
[02:08.40] And you think you're so clever and classless and free
[02:15.93] But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
[02:23.67] A working class hero is something to be
[02:31.72] A working class hero is something to be
[02:36.57]
[03:00.29] There's room at the top they are telling you still
[03:08.08] But first you must learn how to smile when you kill
[03:15.74] If you want to be like the folks on the hill
[03:39.10][03:23.63] A working class hero is something to be
[03:31.33] A working class hero is something to be
[03:36.72]
[03:46.58] If you want to be a hero well just follow me
[03:54.24] If you want to be a hero well just follow me
[04:00.37] END
