Working Class Heroes

Who were the ones who fought for freedom?
Who were the ones who gave their lives?
Maybe they didn't have to lose much
But don't forget their kids and wives

Working class heroes
They are the ones who helped to build this land
Working class heroes
They stay united always hand in hand
Working class heroes
With hearts of gold that always shine so bright
Working class heroes
They give you hope, will never leave you side

Is this the way to treat your heroes?
Don't you have no respect at all?
A government that never listens
It seems it's riding for a fall

This ain't a country fit for heroes
The government don't give a shit
They're all so full of self importance
Soon time will come that they'll admit

We need to honour them, we need to honour them
We need to show that we'll remember them
