Working class hero

Interprète : John Lennon

1. [LAm]As soon as you're born
They make [SOL]you to feel s[LAm]mall,
[-]By giving you no time
Inst[SOL]ead of it [LAm]all,
[-]Till the pain is so big
You feel [SOL]nothing at [LAm]all.
2. 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 fucking crazy
You can't follow their rules.
3. When they've tortured and scared you
For 20 odd years,
Then they expect you
To pick a career,
When you can't really function
You're so full of fear.
4. Keep you doped with religion
And sex and tv,
And you think you're so clever
And classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants
As far as I can see.
5. There's 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.
