**Chords:**
G C G
As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
G C G
By giving you no time instead of it all
Em C G
'Til the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all
G C G
A working class hero is something to be
G C G
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
G C G
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Em C G
'Til you're so f***ing crazy, you can't follow their rules
G C G
A working class hero is something to be
Em C G
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
Em C G
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Em C G
But you're still f***ing peasants as far as I can see
G C G
A working class hero is something to be
G C G
There's room at the top, they are telling you still
G C G
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
Working Class Hero
