[Intro]
Bm
[Verse]
A Bm
As soon as your born they make you feel small
A Bm
By giving you no time instead of it all
A Bm
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
A E Bm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
A Bm
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
A Bm
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
A E Bm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
A Bm
Then they expect you to pick a career
A Bm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
[Chorus]
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
A E Bm
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
A Bm
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
A Bm
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
[Solo]
Bm A E Bm A E Bm 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
A E Bm
There's room at the top they are telling you still
A Bm
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
A Bm
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
A E Bm
A working class hero is something to be
