Paper Cutouts - Working Class Hero

As soon as your 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
Working Class Hero
is something to be
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 despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy
you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero
is something to be
Working Class Hero
is something to be
When they've tortured
and scared you
for 20 odd years
then they expect you
to pick a career
When you can't really function
you're so full of fear
Working Class Hero
is something to be
Working Class Hero
is something to be
Keep you doped with religion
sex and T V
and you think you're so clever
and classless and free
but you're still fucking peasants
as far as I can see
Working Class Hero
is something to be
Working Class Hero
is something to be
If you want to be a hero
than just follow me
If you want to be a hero
than just follow me
If you want to be a hero
than just follow me
