Working Class Hero
::
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all...
They see that you fall and insist you feel bitter.
Then they see you wither and call you a quitter.
You think you fit in until they spit at you.
To them you're just shit and they wanna get rid of you.
You try to act bigger and scare them away...
But then they'll just kill ya and go on with there day.
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 and they despise a fool.
'Til you're so fuckin' crazy you can't follow there rules.
You've got no choice to choose, so you lose instead of win.
You move you feet to there beat, you're defeated but you grin.
You sleep and have nightmares, you hate that you wake and begin again.
You live a life of sin but, of course, its forced on you.
'Til you think fuck it and give in and accept that they've caught you.
A working class hero is something to be...
A working class hero is something to be...
When they've tortured you for twenty odd years.
And then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear.
Yours tears become dry and you start to disappear.
You're here for the moment, but you can't really hold it.
You find out that they've blown it, but you feel you've always known it.
They're like an opponent you've got to let beat you.
They don't care what you've been through they don't fuckin' need you.
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 that you're clever and careless and free.
But really you're just senseless and weak as can be.
You're still fuckin peasents as far as they can see.
You and me are just soldiers on the front line.
With heads on our shoulders as lost as our mind.
We're all blind to time and protesters of fate.
We mis-read the signs and are completely obsessed with hate.
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 how to smile as you kill.
Before they attack and take all our free will.
We feel like we're marchin' and watchin' them murder.
But really we're just lettin' them by runnin' away further.
We're raping and killing mother nature and ignore the face of the father.
If you show off the scars to prove that they hate ya, they only hit harder.
Aren't ya glad you're afraid? They've killed all the brave?
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...
