[Verse]
D# Fm
As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
D# Fm
By giving you no time, instead of it all
D# Fm
'Til the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all.
[Chorus]
D# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
D# A# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
[Verse]
D# Fm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
D# Fm
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
D# Fm
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules.
[Chorus]
D# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
D# A# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
[Verse]
D# 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# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
D# A# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
[Verse]
D# Fm
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
D# Fm
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
D# Fm
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see.
[Chorus]
D# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
D# A# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
[Verse]
D# 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 the folks on the hill.
[Chorus]
D# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
D# A# Fm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
[Outro]
D# Fm
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
D# A#
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
