Lead Vocals:Mike Peters
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 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 You�re clever They despise a fool Till you�re so fucking 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 20 odd years And 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 They keep you doped with Religion, sex and TV And you think you�re so clever 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 us still But first you must smile As you learn how to kill If you wanna 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 wanna be a hero Just follow me If you wanna be a hero Just follow me
