As soon as you 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
Keep you doped with religion
And s** and tv
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 learn how to smile
When you kill
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
