Working Class Hero

John Lennon

	Am	G	Am
As	soon as you're born they	make you feel	small

	Am	G	Am
By	giving you no time in	stead of it	all

	Am	G	Am
'til the	pain is so big you feel	nothing at	all

	Am	G	Am
A	working class hero is	something to	be

	Am	G	D	Am
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

'til youre 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 cant 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 classless and free

But youre 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're telling you still

but first you must learn 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

	Am	G	Am
If you	want to be a hero well	just follow	me

	Am	G	D	Am
If you	want to be a	hero	just follow	me
