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 fucking 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've 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 class less 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 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

John Lennon

number one, yes God gave us free will, but God also gave us a concience, Number two, telling someone that they will believe in God in hell is the same as condemning someone, which is a sin. I will pray for you. Number three, whyether or not someone chooses to follow their concience is up to them, (free will). also, sometimes people can loose their guidance if raised as such, or if something happened in their life tha traumatized them. Also, just because john lennon was an athiest does not mean that i can't listen to music written and performed by him. I believe in what he says in this song. And while violence and a coup de ta is not the way we are to change the way things are, i do believe that the government needs some reform.

This song is great, and green day have done a great job. But you gotta hear the original by John Lennon. For even though Green Day rules, John Lennon is a legend. Learn how to know the diffrent everybody! And if we`re talking Green Days best song "Wake Me Up When September End" the best
