[C] [Bb]
[C]
[Gm] [C]
As soon as you're [Bb] born, [C] they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so [Bb] big you [C] feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working pain to be
They hurt you at [Gm] home and they hit [C] 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 the rules
A working class hero is something to [Cm] be
[C] A working class pain to be
When they tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
[Cm] When they expect [Bb] you to pick a [C] career
[Cm]
[C] But you really can't function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A [Cm] working class [C] hero is something to be
[Cm] [C] 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 pests as far as I can [Cm] see
[C]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's [Cm] a room at the top, they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to live, life [C] unfortunately kills
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A [Cm] working class [C] thing to be
[Cm]
[C] [Cm]
[C] [Cm]
