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