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
