Working class hero

Lennon John

   Am                        G              Am 
As  soon as you're born they  make you feel  small 
   Am                    G            Am 
By  giving you no time in stead of it  all 
         Am                       G           Am 
'til the  pain is so big you feel  nothing at  all 
  Am                     G             Am 
A  working class hero is  something to  be 
  Am             G        D             Am 
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 
'til you`re so f***ing 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 20 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 youre still f***ing 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're 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 
 
       Am                      G            Am 
If you  want to be a hero well  just follow  me 
       Am            G     D            Am 
If you  want to be a  hero  just follow  me
