Working Class Hero Lyrics - Green Day

1 As soon as you're born they make you feel small

2 By giving you no time instead of it all

3 Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

4 A working class hero is something to be

5 A working class hero is something to be

6 They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

7 They hate if you're clever and despise a fool

8 Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

9 A working class hero is something to be

10 A working class hero is something to be

11 When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

12 Then they expect you to pick a career

13 When you can't really function you're so full of fear

14 A working class hero is something to be

15 A working class hero is something to be

16 Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV

17 And you think you're so clever and classless and free

18 But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

19 A working class hero is something to be

20 A working class hero is something to be

21 There's room at the top they're telling you still

22 But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

23 If you want to be like the folks on the hill

24 A working class hero is something to be

25 A working class hero is something to be

26 A working class hero is something to be

27 A working class hero is something to be

28 A working class hero is something to be

29 A working class hero is something to be

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

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