Marianne Faithfull - Working Cla** Hero lyrics

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.
