Happy 70th birthday john !!

As soon as you're 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 you 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 class less 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 the folks on the hill

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

    Socialism and Communism are where America is headed. be happy with Obama. Capitalism has it's faults to, but at least you have a freedom of what to pay for. under communism, everyone is forced to share and nobody can rise to their means, everyone is cut down to size, 80 percent of your paycheck usually goes the the communist government leaders, family owned farms and doctors are usually shut down by one corporate entity. John was not 4 communist gov, but he believed in people having communes.

    it's about all of the people being brainwashed by the government through media, materialism, and consumerism. The fact that Paul plays and bows before Tyrrants like the Queen, is probably making Lennon turn in his grave right now.

    Lennon is rolling in his grave at the fact Paul bows before the Queen. No wonder lennon was killed. This song is too true for most people today.
