Working Class Hero
John Lennon
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 20 odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When 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 be Keep you doped with religion and 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 see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top they are telling you still But first 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 working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me1970 60s 70s 70s music accoustic guitar acoustic acoustic guitar alt-folk alternative angry Awesome beatles beatles collection beautiful bertovich british british folk chillout class struggle classic classic rock classic tracks cool damn liberals depressing dr small jukebox dramatic drunken nights english Fave Favorite favorite songs favorites favourite favourite artists Favourite Songs favourite tracks Favourites folk folky genius musician gloomy great lyrics great vocals guitar hba radio i would steal these voices Intelligent pop john lennon laid back legend legends lennon liverpool love at first listen lyrics makes me cry male singer-songwriters male vocalist male vocals melancholy Mellow merseyside moody moving music for a rainy day My Favorites North West nuri Old-School oldies perfect phil spector poetry political pop post-beatles Protest quiet rainy afternoon real-life rock Rock and Roll sad scouse singer-songwriter sleepy songs for progressives Songs Gramma Hates songwriter telling thats right The Beatles The British are coming The Good Stuff top 2000 UK undoubtedly one of my faves ev war protest yoko ono
