-- Working Class Hero -- [John Lennon cover]


As soon as your 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 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 you're classless 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 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

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

I need 21 guns to kill those 21, who pressed the dislike-button!

The video and the cover is really great! :)

[STEMOSbruder]

who could dislike a song like this???? i mean the message is so important!!

[BestPersonInWorld]

Where their's is better or not John Lennon still has one of the biggest contributions to music of all time, and for that I honor him.

[AlbertR713]

I don't think that green day censored fuck because they don't usually do that. And I agree with you foolofa Hobbit, I think that billie joe put more emotion into his singing.

[FoolOfAHobbit]

The Green Day is much better than John Lennon's.

By th way... Lennon has a quite boring voice. It doesn't make me feel anything...

[TheMildewedBrain]

يوما ما سيكون هناك سلام حقيقي في دارفور

[MrMRlevin]

green day version is better than john lennon ;)

[umid95]

this song cant be bad in any voice!!

[dontsinktheboat]

Are they serious? Did they really censor "fuck"? Don't get me wrong, I actually like this version. Not as much as the Lennon version, but I still enjoy it. I'm pissed off that the muted fuck because John Lennon almost NEVER cursed in his songs. The fact that he cursed in this song, and even put emphasis on it only added to the emotion that was already there. I'm glad they did a cover of it, but I just can't believe they shot for the big money by appealing to the younger audience. Again.

I cant believe that top comments are so fucking likely -.-

[ominiticgaming]

The top two comments are silly, and missing the point of John Lennon.

[Schmed2]

@B0UDEN5 you really want to kill people because you like an ANTI-war viddeo and they dont?? hypocricy much?
