Working Class Hero - John Lennon

Back


Happy 67th birthday john !!

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 twenty 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 class less 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 me

okay lets put it this way... when comparing Green Day's version to John Lennon's version, just remember: this is effing JOHN LENNON we're talking about.

RIP John

I love both versions of this song, but John Lennon wins. Hands Down. Do not argue with me, becuz you know that I am right.

I do like how GreenDay did their vid. 4 this tho, it takes the message from this song and shoots it to a new level by putting a situation that is actually happening in the world, into the video.

either way, amazing song.

your having a go at someone and i bet that you are only saying that because they don't know who you are. i bet that if you saw them in the street at work/ school you wouldn't dare say sommat like that to them

the cover greenday did is indeed very good. But can't make songs like this on there own. There best songs are either covers or songs writing by other artists.
