As soon as you're born they make you feel
small
By giving you no time in stead of it
all
Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at
all
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at
school
They hate if you're clever and despise a
fool
Until you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their
rules
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20-odd
years
Then they expect you to pick a car
eer
When you can't really function, you're so full of
fear
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
Keep you doped up with r eligion and sex and T
.V.
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-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be

There's room at the top, they're telling you
still
But first you must learn how to smile as you
kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the
hill
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
A working-clas s hero i s something to
be
(John Lennon)
