John Lennon- Working Class Hero (Lyrics)

[Skogrewalk]

yes but whos a better singer?

[casper9413]

this song makes me cry, this is my life

[makigangstabre]

Lennon is not dead! Heroes never die!

[DPandFriends]

greatest song ever.

[Mightbejesus]

I wonder how many people actually understand this song, regardless of which version they've heard?

[yossarrian616]

My parent lived in Czechoslovaki, my grandparent also. They really know this song. They know, what John sang....

[stellalpinasonohra27]

I hate Chapman.

[Br1annaB3b3]

@Xx3m0xkidxX Green Day didn't steal it genius , they did a cover of it, you fuck . You get it right .

[Xx3m0xkidxX]

green day stole this song THEY DID NOT WRITE IT! get it right...

[HarryPotterObsess]

This is my hero right here. My inspiration for peace, love, and happiness. He lived for peace and his Legend lives on and it will stay that way. He was without a doubt the greatest man whoever lived.

[LUCKas1212]

"if you want to be a hero than just follow me" ... only john can say that! :)

[Samyoureye007]

We need Lennon today, to inspire the masses to evolve from sheep to men.

[Zerafinel]

This song=Truth.

[sharinedemarchenar69]

Ozza, the words really go like: There's room at the top they're telling you still...

[4449911]

there's room at the top ...(room, not rumoured)

[sargantfrosty]

First time I heard this song I was like *GASP!!* JOHN LENNON SAID "FUCKING"!!??

lol, but this song is just awesome and I love it. Workers of the World Unite!

[tdog19951]

fuck heads john lennon wrote this song before green day was even born

[metalsabatico]

and thats what happens to real heros in this world.... they get fuckin murdered

[CrazygurlNajah]

"If you want to be a hero well just follow me..." --John Lennon <3

[jordanisawesome999]

i miss you John whoever murdered you was wayy to stupid to realize you were trying to make the world a much better place and if you were alive today the wrold would be a better place <3R.I.P

[Familyguy812]

I like Greendays version better but you have to give Credit to John Lennon for making this amazing song :)

[BranwynCheesentim]

this song is so epic

[idonthavename5]

if you want to be a hero well just follow him... R.I.P Lennon

[elizajohn5]

pure genius. sorry paul mc, you are a genius in black and white, john was and is a genius in pure and glorious colour.

[loudmouth5996]

This song really proves how awesome John Lennon was. I'm gonna say that, in general, John Lennon was better than the Beatles, but Paul sang better, and John could have been so much better if he didn't waste his talent singing about Yoko.

[joeyhemming]

i think the lyrics are genius,,,and i think freen day sings it better so john lennon played his part writing it..but green day certainly sang it better

[joeyhemming]

[giligara30492]

His depth is amazing.

[giligara30492]

His depth is amazing.

[BabyJebus666]

im glad john lennon wrote this song. not only is it awesome but it opened my mind

[vengeancymine87]

If you want be a hero, well just follow me.

<3

[animepl0x]

This song is so true.

This man was so...I cant even find a word for him. Hes too awe-inspiring for words.

RIP my hero.

We will always remember, always. No matter how hard they try to make us forget.

[TheAlex10295]

@animepl0x

Your so right!

I'm always so sad if i hear his songs

It makes me remember that people make war not love.

People in war you can only lose. There is no winner of a war!

[eplaksin]

@animepl0x  how about the man was so REAL so HONEST so in our face with the TRUTH!! Love as much today as I did fourty years ago @ 12 years of age.

[TheAbazo]

@animepl0x the word your looking for is ineffable- it means too great to be described by words.....and i agree....such talent is unfortunatley excorcised by crazy idiots who seek to deprive great people of their influence on others.

[WorldOpener]

Like ThisIsLoneWolf already said it's supposed to be "There is room at the top, they are telling you still". Maybe you could use an annotation to correct it since in this song no word is irrelevant.

[Phillychik10]

listen up kids! John Lennon owns this song! it was written when the vietnam war was goin on! green day wasn't even born yet!!! rock on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DanikaJadeee]

i like green dayss version,probably cus i wasint around when i came out,and i heard their version first :P,although it would of never of been if he never made this first

[0NEVERHIDE0]

@DanikaJadeee crap in comparison, im so sorry you heard that one first. such a shame

[aleon1995]

fag John Lennons version is way better

[theAvaFlav]

this is one of my favorite songs!! and i agree that you can feel his anger in the song

[Esqueletoz6]

I dont think he is really anger, i think he saw the truth and he is disapointed with this society we live. we think we have a choice but we really dont, it is like you can run but you cant hide.

[bcm01391]

Very well said

[branfransisconine]

it is the 1st

[rebel4thecolorbrown]

although he is singing beautifully you can feel his anger just through the lyrics

[barnzy2302]

Its about living as a human being in western society.

[dudiaz]

and in the working class, right? Hehe

[g5baybay]

I have to write what this song means to me or what I think it means for sociology class.. any ideas

[rezzah]

not about us but you, what ever you think about it you write down.Dont write our ideas.

[BradfordsVee]

@g5baybay i dont think anybody can answer that because i think it should be individual. It depends where you fit in society.

[kelseyandearth]

This is truly a very well written song. Lennon speaks the truth. Everyone can connect to at least one bit or more of this song. :)

The legend is forever.

[no2hate]
