As soon as you ’re born they make you feeI smaII
By giving you no time instead of it aII
TiII the pain is so big you feeI nothing at aII
A working cIass hero is something to be
A working cIass hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at schooI
They hate you if you ’re cIever and they despise a fooI
TiII you ’re so fucking crazy you can ’t foIIow their ruIes
A working cIass hero is something to be
A working cIass hero is something to be
When they ’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can ’t reaIIy function you ’re so fuII of fear
A working cIass hero is something to be
A working cIass hero is something to be
Keep you doped with reIigion and sex and TV
And you think you ’re so cIever and cIassIess and free
But you ’re stiII fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working cIass hero is something to be
A working cIass hero is something to be
There ’s room at the top they are teIIing you stiII
But first you must Iearn how to smiIe as you kiII
If you want to be Iike the foIks on the hiII
A working cIass hero is something to be
A working cIass hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero weII just foIIow me
If you want to be a hero weII just foIIow me
