[Verse 1]

From the moment 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


[Refrain]

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be


[Verse 2]

They hurt you at home, they hit you at school

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

Till your mind is so bent you can't follow their rules


[Refrain]

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be


[Verse 3]

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV

You think you're so clever, so classless, so free

But you're all still my peasants as far as I can see


[Refrain]

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be


[Verse 4]

They've tortured and scared me for twenty-five years

And then they expect me to pick a career

But I can't even function 'cause I'm so full of fear


[Refrain]

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be


[Verse 5]

There is room at the top they're telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile when you kill

If you want to be like all those folks on the hill


[Refrain]

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

And if you want to be a hero then just follow me

You want to be a hero then just follow me

You want to be a hero then just follow me

You want to be a hero then just follow me

You want to be a hero then just follow me

Just follow me


[Outro]

Come children, come home

Come home

Welcome back angels

It's been a pleasure welcoming you home

I'm sure God will be very happy that you're back

Oh, there's that key

Oh, haha, there it is

Ascension millennium

Now you got the feeling and your heart is not believing
