[Verse]
D# Fm
As soon as your born they make you feel small
D# Fm
By giving you no time instead of it all
D# Fm
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
D# A# Fm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
D# Fm
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
D# Fm
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
D# A# Fm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
D# Fm
Then they expect you to pick a career
D# Fm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
[Chorus]
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
D# A# Fm
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
D# Fm
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
D# Fm
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
[Solo]
Fm D# A# Fm D# A# Fm 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
D# A# Fm
There's room at the top they are telling you still
D# Fm
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
D# Fm
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
D# A# Fm
A working class hero is something to be
