Working Class Hero

Working Class Hero

John Lennon

[Am]As soon as you're born they m[G]ake you fell s[Am]mall
By giving you notime inst[G]ead of it [Am]all
[Am]Till the pain is so big you feel n[G]othing at [Am]all
[Am]A working class hero is s[G]omething to [Am]be
Aworking class [G]hero is [D]somthing to [Am]be - el resto igual ---
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate if you're clever and theydespise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you've got to follow their
rules
A working class hero is something to be
Aworking class hero is something to be
When they've tortured you and scared you for twenty odd
years
Then they expect you to pick a careerWhen you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beKeep you doped with religion sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as i can seeA working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they're telling you still
Butfirst you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A workingclass hero is something to be
If you w[Am]ant to be a hero well j[G]ust follow[Am] me
[Am]If you want to be a hero well j[G]ust follow [Am]me [G] -Am-
