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 T V
And you think you're so clever
and class less 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---
