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 cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** 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 f**ing crazy you can't follow their rules.
A working cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career,
But you really can't function you're so full of fear.
A working cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and s** and tv
And you think you're so clever and cla**less and free,
But you're still f**ing peasants as far as i can see.
A working cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** 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 k**
If you want to live like the folks on the hill.
A working cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** hero is something to be.
A working cla** hero is something to be,
A working cla** hero is something to be.
