As soon as you're born
They make you feel small
By giving you no time
Instead of at all
Until 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
Well 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 f**king 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 sex and tv
And you think you're so clever
And classless and free
But you're still f**king 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 call smile as you kill
If you want to be
Like the folks on the
Hill
A working class hero is something to be
Yes a working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero
Then just follow
Me
If you want to be a hero
Then just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
Just follow
Me
