Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man I heard something 'bout my ma and my pa They didn't want me so they made me your star I found out... Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you Just keep you crazy with nothing to do Keep you occupied with pie in the sky There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes I found out... I've seen through junkies I been through it all I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine No one can harm you, feel your own pain I I found out I I found this out I I found out Out! Out!

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 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 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 the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be

Remember when you were young? How the hero was never hung Always got away And remember how the man Used to leave you empty handed Always, always let you down So if you ever change your mind About leaving it all behind Remember, remember, today And don't feel sorry The way it's gone And don't you worry 'Bout what you've done Just remember when you were small How people seemed so tall Always had their way And remember Ma and Pa Just wishing for movie stardom Always, always playing a part If you ever feel so sad And the whole world is driving you mad Remember, remember, today And don't you worry 'Bout what you've done And don't feel sorry The way it's gone Just remember when you were young How the hero was never hung Always got away Just remember how the man Used to give you empty handed Always, always let you down
