Working Class Hero Lyrics

Green Day

• As soon as you're born they make you feel small
• By giving you no time instead of it all
• 'Til 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 if you're clever and despise a fool
• 'Til you're so **** 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 classless and free
• But you're still **** 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're telling you still
• But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
• If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
• 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 working class hero is something to be
• 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
