this song isint anti work its pro worker,,we the working class,,its soo hard to be a man with all the crap the world makes us take,,this song was made for me and ANY hard worker that puts up with all of your bull,,and still we get the job done,,,fuck white ,,john was pro blue,,
That was an intreaging song. It reminds me of John's childhood. Liverpool was a tough city back then. The people had a strong working class ethic. John was bright and he didn't like school. This song seems really sober and honest.
@Coleaptera I love John with all my heart but this sounds like an excuse to be a lazy bum! You've got to be a hard worker to reach success. Maybe i'm missing something here
One of the extraordinary songs from one of the most powerful albums ever made. It's one of the greatest, most profound collections of songs ever recorded. It's not even remotely like a Beatles album, just one man bearing his soul.
John Lennon, about a thousand years ahead of his time. Rest In Peace John, you still live on in my heart and soul. All we are saying is give peace a chance. OWS 2011.
By the way if it wasn't for the Beatles, we would of never heard of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, The Doors, Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queen and Black Sabbath...Nuff Said
There is a feeling generated in this song that stirs emotion yet is not insulting. This is something rarely captured in music made recently in my opinion. It brings out something which is in everyone although some have it buried under pain.
@AstrophelTDeath Being a fan of someone doesn't mean you can do a decent cover version - his whiney nasal American accent really stomps over the song - it didn't need a fake punk band covering it.
@halfabeet This song being covered by Green Day brought this song to a whole other audience. John Lennon was a wonderful artist and the cover by Green Day was quite good. The original artist is almost always better but Green Day did a good job and opened the song to another genre and a younger audience. Music is for everyone and Lennon would be rolling in his grave to think people are being petty and arguing over his song being covered when being covered brings new life to a song.
@TheLorgirl I Honestly first heard it from Ozzy... Just like I first heard Imagine from A Perfect Circle... John Lennons philosophy will always be inspirational...

Tonight(actually last night, 'coz it's now after midnight) I went and saw "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" as part of the MINT film series here in Toronto. I can't believe it's been 31 years since that sick asshole monster son of a bitch took you away from us John- 31 years and it STILL makes me angry and it STILL makes me cry. And to all my friends at the (Walk of Fame) John Lennon star in front of the capitol records building in Hollywood, I miss you all SO much (Especially you Pat Tyson)
i hope these yanks that talk about poverty kno what its like 2 live in a derelict moss side housing estate with gunshots and stabbings all around you and to be preying for sumthing to take you away

We're the first species in 3.5 billion years for which the use of the Earth is a privilege, and the only reason to make it a privilege is to control and abuse. Desperate people make great servants.
I was in New Orleans this weekend, and there was a smalllll fraction there called "Occupy the Bayou." No more than, say, 90 people. Nevertheless, they were ALL, in unison, singing this song; VERBATIM!
lol...but the bankers control EVERYTHING...they own countries.....just saying, nothing more complicated than it has to be, but it all starts with the cash.....
Sometimes when I get sent to the detention center or something else of the sort goes wrong I just sing to myself quietly. The three songs I can remember singing in those situations were three little birds by bob marley, working class hero by John Lennon and heaven is a halfpipe by OPM. All wonderful songs.
now if m. manson ever does INSTANT KARMA, ill do him myself so that he can apologise to lennon in person for smearing black lipstick all over a perfectly good thing. hey manson! leave them songs alone!
I value this song. But I hate politics. I hate it because it never solves sh*t. Any student of history knows this all too well. There are always those younger souls who imagine novelty ("but,we're different") but the story always ends the same way. Don't give a crap what you call yourself but, read "Ecclesiastes" (Qoheleth). The wisdom speaks for itself. There-that's my comment for "Occupy Wall Street". I dig the complaint. I just think there is a much bigger picture at work here.......
@007dicktator Hey you ok? I know this is just the internet and what not,but maybe you should call up a friend or something. Hope things get better for you soon.The only way to know for sure is to stick around and find out.
I;m surprised at some of the comments.Why not say that this is John Lennon stark,true to his beliefs.A sensational,brilliant song,very much in the Revolution mould.It certainly wouldnt make xfactor,and proud of it! Many many thanks for uploading Rupe44
Called the local radio station the day after John Lennon was killed, and asked them if they could play this song, (from J.L.Plastic Ono Band,live peace>Toronto) and they said of course, and they played it within 10 minutes. Called back in a week and they couldn't play it anymore because of offensive lyrics. Eventually a bleeped version came out but , well, won't say the word ...
i almost drank myself to death listening to this because i was cheated on :( but it was quite a nice memory in a fucked up way :) john lennon your the greatist
Occupy wall street is a joke. The economy has very little to do with wall street. The president creates jobs for companies that create funds for him and his next attempt at re-election. People need to wake up and realize where the real issues are that plague the country, not just assume something and go fight for it.
This song is making fun of society and the way that we accept being trained like slaves. The last line tells us if we want to actually be heros, then follow him. Meaning, disconnect from the enslaving society that we participate in, as outlined in the song step by step.
occupy wallstreet? lol you want see a working class hero, grab a mechanic, grab a welder, grab a blacksmith, grab a carpenter and look at his hands, that's a hero
@blachubear This song wasn't about corporations, It's about the Establishment and Government destroying Peace in order to gain dominance over the People. I don't support Occupy Wall St. I support LOVE AND PEACE. WHEN WILL THE WARS END? WHEN WILL THE GOV'T AND EST. STOP USING US AS PONS? TIME TO ACT. EVERYONE, SAVE THE WORLD, START LOVING, START PEACE.
Don't you realise that governments are in hoke with corporations, and corporations control governments, establishments, the lot, with their illuminati worship of the industrial, military complex.
They cherish folk who can afford to chomp on very expensive cigars and guzzle very expensive champagne.
They regard the rest of us as cannon fodder, cheap labour and slavery type commodities.
@Chuikov23 They can get a job if the GOP Congress wouldn't cock block the bills that shows up for a vote. Nice try Chuikov23 but I watch the news. We are the 99 percent.
@blachubear more than half the people occupying wall street dont even fuckin know what they are talking about. and if anything, theyre all occupying the wrong place. go occupy the white house. thats who you should be really fighting right now.
@lilmonkeygurl3 You mean they should Occupy The House Of Congress. They(Bohner, Cantor ) are the ones that make sure the rich don't pay their dues. Do your homework.
@paolo38021 scusami, intanto, per quello che ti ho scritto ; john lennon è il mio idolo.Però anche tu che dici che è un buffone, mi sembra fuori luogo, quantomeno. Dylan ha influenzato molto i beatles, magari questa canzone prende spunto da quelle di dylan, però io trovo che il messaggio ed il testo siano fantastici e trovano riscontro nel vivere quotidiano.
@den1979ful1 Per me dylan ha influenzato solo lennon, o meglio, lennon lo ha copiato, i folk di paul sono completamente diversi vedasi: i've just seen a face, rocky racoon, two of us, mull of kintyre. devi scusarmi ma questa è solo farina del sacco di paul.
@paolo38021 bhe allora diciamo che sono 2 stili diversi, quelli di lennon e mccartney, meno male ti dico, perchè ne è scaturita un'alchimia meravigliosa. Non trovo che lennon abbia copiato dylan, può passare che sia stato influenzato, ma oltre dirti You've got to hide your love away e questa, non mi sovviene altro, di prettamente riconducibile a dylan, ma è normale che nella musica capita di essere influenzati da qualcun'altro. Come gli stessi beatles sono stati influenzati da rockers anni 50 !!
@den1979ful1 e lo sai che poi quei grandi degli anni '50 hanno rifatto i beatles(quelli di Paul):Elvis ha fatto Yesterday,Hey jude,get back e lady madonna;Fats domino ha fatto lady madonna e lovely rita;Ray charles ha fatto eleanor rigby,yesterday,let it be,the lon and winding road,marvin gave ha fatto yesterday;little richard ha fatto i saw her standing there ed anche jerry lee lewis.ti dico che queste sono grandi canzoni che fa piacere cantare.
@paolo38021 ad ogni modo a me piacciono sia mccartney che lennon sia harrison e ringo starr..........perchè mi piacciono i BEATLES, rispetto il tuo parere, non del tutto che hai dato del buffone a Lennon, io non credo tu sia un beatlesiano "puro" ma credo ti piaccia paul mccartney e basta. Io invece ascolto indiscriminatamente tutte le canzoni dei beatles e mi piacciono un sacco anche quelle di mccartney, che senza lennon non sarebbe stato la stessa cosa e viceversa. Io la vedo così.
@den1979ful1 essendo nato nel 1972, non ho conosciuto i beatles in attività, gli ho conosciuti quando avevo 14 anni,la canzone che mi ha incuriosito è stata l'ultima let it be, da li ho comprato tutti i dischi in vinile, mi sono sgolato,cantavo in un gruppo cantando i primi beatles con twist and shout e long tall sally e anche a me piacciono tutti e 4, ma non ho sopportato il comportamento di lennon subito dopo la separazione,in tutte le interviste e nelle canzoni sparava a 0 vs mccartney, che
@paolo38021 anche io non ho conosciuto i beatles in attività per questioni anagrafiche, e anche a me piacciono moltissimo, per quanto riguarda gli "attacchi" di lennon a mccartney, credo io, bisogna sapere esattamente i fatti e la storia per giudicare chi avesse avuto ragione oppure no. Potrebbe anche essere che avessero fatto apposta a beccarsi, così tanto per fare.
@den1979ful1 che ha avuto il coraggio di partire da 0, suonando tutto da solo nei primi due album, senza l'aiuto di nessuno mentre lui sL'i è circondato di grandi musicisti(Eric Clapton, Harrison, ecc) e di un grande produttore (phil spector) che Plastic Ono band un suono forte. il 1 album di paul non è da meno perche junk o maybe i'm amazed sono pezzi insuperati, il suono è casalingo e privo della grossa produzione che ha avuto il disco dell'amico rivale.
ive never heard this song before today. caused a great deal of emotions for me. now go on you working class hero's tear me apart like wolves, in sheeps clothes. err sheep in wolves clothes. idc do what you do you working class hero's.
ve been hypnosis so just quite it out. than when your free from the Shit they packed in us lol for real do a colon clense, once your free from thier crackin whips go and learn how to fend for you selfes (give a man a fish feed him for a day teach him to fish and he's fed for ever)
britney spears justin bieber, uhh illiminati uhh lennon uhh buddah um jesus! oh, umm oh the economy ya umm the wheather ohh uss Justin Bieber!! ya uh oh umm lil wayen oh uhh, susan G lookin for the cure ya ya! oh uhh shhhhhh. quite the mind. thiers allot goin on in thier i know. its supposed to be that way keeps you from thinking criticly lolz. but listen just... shhh... quite your mind. free it from its bonds.. its kinda like comein up from a long long hypnosis. well i think it may actually ha
theyve capitilized on our greed. our need. our instinct. and our fears... ok ok ok, well sence im talkin on a global media mabe its time for a global rethinkin of the way power should work damnit. flip that pyramid over and it turns out thier was so many more people on the bottom. really no reason for capitlism. umm and we have to keep learning. keep the global contact up lol. strange its like we must come to some sort of global concious... cosmic society.. keep learnin. keep teaching.
us. silent protest dosnt even involve leaving your house lol. just plant some plants. learn a little something something and maby teach what you learn to your FUCKIN children.... little somethin about fuel. and lyes. and controll and history. and peace. grow a carrot. fallow him...
what is there to protest my fellow working class hero's? who are we to protest too lol who the fuck is gonna listen?? protesting so far has gotten us SO far wow. shaken our fists at big brutha, you bad bad men on the hill, how dare you attempt to controll us, how dare- im a soverighn damn it! how dare you say we cant think for our selves, now you march rite back in that big white building and make this better damn it, you turn rite around and fix this damn it. lol they dont care obviously about
get your energy off grid shit. solar, wind turbine, bio diesal. figure something out what the hell is gonna happen when we run out of fossel fuel? when we hit peak, which for those that dont know is when we use up Half of the earths source of fossil fuel, comeing soon to a town near you!! the price for fuel after that skyrockets and after its gone which btw its only gonna sell to the highest bidder and thats gonna mean the rich will be infinite in power as we will have no energy to fend for ours
compost. carbon (brown waste like sticks and dry hay) nitrogen (green waste like yard trimmings) moisture and sunlight. makes compost. and everything elce nature made. put it back in the soil. and grow again. start now. if you live in the north learn your planting zones and find out what you can do to survive the winter. learn about whats called a mass rocket stove. learn heat engineering and spread the word you working class hero's cuz capitilism is dyeing. recycle your grey watar useing carbon
... its just. facts trail on and on thier hardly is anything that most of us know that is true, ya its almost all lies, they capitlize everything possible. shit its illigal to capture and personelly use rain watar in some states. their trying to make it illigal to grow your own plants.. but how can they?? ill tell you its called a falce flag attack. another attempt at our minds, reptillion and scared. dont know what a falce flag attack is? research 911.... grow some food. recycle your waste into
the banks own every title and deed to every piece of land and vehicle and cirtificate in this country.. cuz we owe them we owe them for floating our market, the market ran and controlled by an insane government, before the country went bankrupt in the thirties you know how the government funded its wars? war bonds!! ya it had to get people to vote for thier war financielly same as we vote for cheaper food stuff in the stuper market every payday when we pack in thier like wolves and scrape up the
of plant protien causes cancer... come on you dont even got to research any more the info is bein put out by hero's that allready did the research.. we cant digest this food and it becomes acidic and poisonous in our bodies and the bodies of our children.. you want more damn it? now how the federal researve works?? make a benjamin out of what like 13 cents? than lend it to the government at 100 dolers plus interest return... thats pure profit. 100percent... hmm... wonder if thats perhaps why
well mr. working class hero how do you presume to feed all the six billion (500,000...wtf??) people on the planet?? idk hmm..... grow our food locally? hmm. shit. think you may be onto something. wait your saying grow our own food our selves? but we have jobs to attend, we have bills to pay lol my mother's got cancer my sons autistic my... working class hero is somethin to be huh. grow some food. turns out animal protien causes cancer. cant live with out protien, thats a given, but no amount
the FDA is ran by the people its made to safeguard the people from, etc etc, if we used a portion of the grain we used to feed the 10 billion cows we eat in the metropolotin white ran countries (aka the house nigga's) we could feed the other two thirds of the world that is currently starving to death liveing on under a doller a day. our animals are so geneticly modified chickans with 20 legs and 30 wings lol the modern cow never even sees a blade of grass its the god damn meatrix, well
you all want to vote? go into your back yards rite now and plant a fuckin carrot god damn it. we want peace we want peace ya ya ya, your all working class hero's you know that? so fuckin afraid you cant function, lennon knew that damn it! if you want to be a hero fallow him lol. plant a fuckin carrot or two, bam, no more problem with the food scare or the drug scare... all deseases are curable, healing praxus quantum solutions youtube it lol its a global media ran by the people not jew tube yet.

I wish I could see the world as peacefull like John did through those glasses. In his time he had a lot of people with him fighting for peace. Now it's violence all over the place. Were are the good times? The good times that i never saw. Because after the 90's things got worse and worse in short time
@TheGangstertaylor , Green day are the most insignificant band of a generation.... the beatles, oasis, the who, the kinks ect are miles above that 2bit band,,,
@JDale1991 I wouldnt say they are insignificant. Neither is any band that has ever inspired a single person in any way, or made a person happy. Now, we can all agree that green day sucks, buuuuuut.....
@TheGangstertaylor shut up fagboy. i love green day too, but i can name 11 other bands that are WAY better the beatles led zeppelin pink floyd metallica the doors the jimi hendrix experience bob marley and the wailers nirvana red hot chili peppers queen black sabbath

This is, in my opinion, one of the top 3 best songs he's written.

Sometimes when I get sent to the detention center or something else of the sort goes wrong I just sing to myself quietly. The three songs I can remember singing in those situations were three little birds by bob marley, working class hero by John Lennon and heaven is a halfpipe by OPM. All wonderful songs.

I value this song. But I hate politics. I hate it because it never solves sh*t. Any student of history knows this all too well. There are always those younger souls who imagine novelty ("but,we're different") but the story always ends the same way. Don't give a crap what you call yourself but, read "Ecclesiastes" (Qoheleth). The wisdom speaks for itself. There-that's my comment for "Occupy Wall Street". I dig the complaint. I just think there is a much bigger picture at work here.......

Called the local radio station the day after John Lennon was killed, and asked them if they could play this song, (from J.L.Plastic Ono Band,live peace>Toronto) and they said of course, and they played it within 10 minutes. Called back in a week and they couldn't play it anymore because of offensive lyrics. Eventually a bleeped version came out but , well, won't say the word ...

Occupy wall street is a joke. The economy has very little to do with wall street. The president creates jobs for companies that create funds for him and his next attempt at re-election. People need to wake up and realize where the real issues are that plague the country, not just assume something and go fight for it.

This song is making fun of society and the way that we accept being trained like slaves. The last line tells us if we want to actually be heros, then follow him. Meaning, disconnect from the enslaving society that we participate in, as outlined in the song step by step.

Don't you realise that governments are in hoke with corporations, and corporations control governments, establishments, the lot, with their illuminati worship of the industrial, military complex.
They cherish folk who can afford to chomp on very expensive cigars and guzzle very expensive champagne.
They regard the rest of us as cannon fodder, cheap labour and slavery type commodities.

@paolo38021 scusami, intanto, per quello che ti ho scritto ; john lennon è il mio idolo.Però anche tu che dici che è un buffone, mi sembra fuori luogo, quantomeno. Dylan ha influenzato molto i beatles, magari questa canzone prende spunto da quelle di dylan, però io trovo che il messaggio ed il testo siano fantastici e trovano riscontro nel vivere quotidiano.
den1979ful1 2 months ago
@den1979ful1 Per me dylan ha influenzato solo lennon, o meglio, lennon lo ha copiato, i folk di paul sono completamente diversi vedasi: i've just seen a face, rocky racoon, two of us, mull of kintyre. devi scusarmi ma questa è solo farina del sacco di paul.
paolo38021 2 months ago
@paolo38021 bhe allora diciamo che sono 2 stili diversi, quelli di lennon e mccartney, meno male ti dico, perchè ne è scaturita un'alchimia meravigliosa. Non trovo che lennon abbia copiato dylan, può passare che sia stato influenzato, ma oltre dirti You've got to hide your love away e questa, non mi sovviene altro, di prettamente riconducibile a dylan, ma è normale che nella musica capita di essere influenzati da qualcun'altro. Come gli stessi beatles sono stati influenzati da rockers anni 50 !!

Io invece ascolto indiscriminatamente tutte le canzoni dei beatles e mi piacciono un sacco anche quelle di mccartney, che senza lennon non sarebbe stato la stessa cosa e viceversa. Io la vedo così.
