Green Day - Working Class Hero

[danntjoh]

I bet 90% of the people who watch this don't even know that it's written by John Lennon, fucking genius..

[TheOutlawgal]

I love both versions of this song. A working class hero in my definition is one who is stuck in a position that they are defined to and can not escape it. So they accept it and never level up in the social ladder.

the john lennon version is better, but ik like the drums and the electric gitar in the greenday version.

but at the end of the song, when the lyrics is "if you want to be a hero, well just follow me." ; it is sung by john lennon, not by billy joe armstrong. bur great song, especially the lyrics

great song! a bit sad though...

[feufenhimster]

john lennon's version is 100x better

RIP John

we all miss you

[Blondegirl711]

what is a working class hero? I absoulutely love this song tho!

[frogmasters]

At 1:20 it says "...When they've tortured and scared you for twenty hard years..."

It's actually "...When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years..."

[thiefelent]

wat is the meaning of the song? i cant seem to figure it out

[saroo1820]

There's another video of this song with Green Day singing it. The song's about helping people in Darfur. You'll get the message as soon as you watch it.

[ghosteye007]

that is just a cover of the true meaning of this song. Lennon did not sing this song just for the people of darfur. Listen to the lyrics. If you still cant figure out the meaning then honestly.....

[saroo1820]

i was talking about green day... ive never heard the john lennon one

[LittleN04]

SWEET

[GreenDxD]

I totally agree with narufanjenn. this song is the best song EVER! thanks for posting the lyrics!

[rasel56]

I love this song! Great cover its very similar to lennon's...

[yamimary]

A working class hero IS aomething to fear

[narufanjenn]

i like this song better by greenday than john lennon but dats just me~!

[titohilton20]

awesomeeee!!!

[rockerwere]

all this time when he says be i thought he said fear until i heard john lennons one

[SempreFi08]

Idk but Im pretty sure in the one verse the lyrics are "They hate IF you're Clever and despise a fool"...

[xXTheSecretAngelXx]

you know what's cool? Billie Joe sounds really similar to John Lennon (the original writer) and he does a great cover! love the lyrics ^.^

[mebloke69]

Why must people censor the word fuck, It's quite annoying.

[Plan3arium]

[guitargirl54321]

[pandaluverr3]

I was wondering that, too.

I checked, and yes, John uses Fuck. |:

[darkkitsune1211]

This is the best version of all the people who sang it. John Lennon was good too! Unfortunately, Ozzy Osbourne sucked. Sorry.
