Working Class Hero lyrics

Artist  : Yoko Ono 
Song : Working Class Hero
 
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 and they despise
a fool.
Till you’re so f**king 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 tortured and scared you for twenty odd
years,
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.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,
And you think you’re so clever and classless
and free.
But you’re still f**king 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 a room at the top, they are telling you
still,
But first you must learn how to smile as 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.
