Soon as you're born they make you feel small

Given you no time instead of it all

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Working class hero is something to be

Working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and hit you at school

Hate you if you're clever and dispise the fool

Till it's so fucking crazy you can't follow the rules

Working class hero is something to be

Working class hero is something to be

When they tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career

But you can't really function you're so full of fear

Working class hero is something to be

Working class hero is something to be

Keep it dope with religion, your sex and tv

You think you're so clever and classless and free

But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

Working class hero is something to be

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

You wanna be like the folks on the hill

Working class hero is something to be

Working class hero is something to be

If you wanna be a hero then just follow me

If you wanna be a hero then just follow me....
