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 fucking crazy, you can't follow their |
|
rules |
|
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 |
|
Then they expect you to pick a career |
|
When you can't really 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 you're still fucking 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 you still |
|
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 |
