Working Class Hero

Jimmy Barnes

[Verse 1]
As soon as you're born
They make you feel small
By giving you no time
Instead of it all
’Till the pain gets so big
You feel nothing at all
Working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 2]
And they hurt you at home
And they hit you at school
And 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

[Verse 3]
Well they tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
And 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

[Verse 4]
Keep you doped with religion
Sex and TV
And you think you're so clever
And classless and free
But you're still a fucking peasants
As far as they see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 5]
Yeah there is room at the top
They're telling you still
First you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like those folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Outro]
If you want to be a hero
Just follow me
If you want to be a hero
Just follow me
