Working Class Hero

Am                                         G                    Am    

 As soon as you're born they make you feel small

Am                                 G              Am

By giving you no time instead of it all

Am                                           G             Am  

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

Am                                                          G             Am

They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool

Am                                         G                 Am

Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules

   Am                              G                Am       Am                G        D                  Am

A working class hero is something to be.  A working class hero is something to be      

Am                                                             G                 Am

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Am                                  G          Am

Then they expect you to pick a career

Am                                                        G            Am

When you can't really function you're so full of fear

   Am                              G                Am       Am                G        D                  Am

A working class hero is something to be.  A working class hero is something to be      

Am                                                 G           Am

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV

Am                                                   G                  Am

And you think you're so clever and classless and free

Am                                      G               Am

But you're still peasants as far as I can see

   Am                              G                Am       Am                G        D                  Am

A working class hero is something to be.  A working class hero is something to be      

Am                                               G              Am

There's room at the top they are telling you still

Am                                              G                  Am

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

Am                                    G                 Am

If you want to be like the folks on the hill

   Am                              G                Am       Am                G        D                  Am
