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 |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A 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 they despise a fool |
|
Till you're so fuckin' crazy you can't follow their rule |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
When they tortured an' scared you for twenty odd years |
|
Then they expect you to pick a career |
|
But you really can't function you're so full of fear |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV |
|
And you think you're so clever and classless and free |
|
But we're still fuckin' peasants as far as I can see |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
There's room at the top, they are telling us still |
|
But first we must learn how to smile as we kill |
|
If we want to live like the folks on the hill |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
|
A working class hero is something to be |
