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 class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool
Till you´re so fucking crazy you can´t fallow 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 20 odd years
Ah 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 wit religion and sex and TV

And you think you´re so clever and classless and free
But you´re still fucking 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 smile as you kill
But if you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Just follow me
