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 if you're clever and despise a fool
Till you're so f___ing 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 f___ing 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'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 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
