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 |
|
But you really can't function you're so full of fear 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 |
|
TV TV 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 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. |
