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 ------- 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 s__ and
TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still
------- 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 all 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

If you want to be a hero well just follow
me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
