lyrics

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you'll feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home, they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for 20-odd years
And 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

Keep you doped with religion, 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

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero
Well, just follow me...
