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