As soon as you're born they make you feel small By givin' you no time 'sted 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 schoool They hated you clever they dispise 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 tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years Then they expect you to pick a career But 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. 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 tellin' you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you wanna be like all the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
If You wanna be a hero then just follow me If You wanna be a hero then just follow me
