Dm C Dm
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
C Dm
By giving you no time instead of it all,
C Dm
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C Dm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
C g Dm
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
C Dm
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C Dm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
C Dm
Then they expect you to pick a career,
C Dm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C Dm
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
C Dm
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
C Dm
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C Dm
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
C Dm
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
C Dm
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C g Dm
A working class hero is something to be.
C Dm
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
