As soon as 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
A working class hero is something to be
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 f*ucking 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 class less 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
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Green Day 版本
2007年Green Day乐队翻唱此曲收录于以关注苏丹达福地区动乱为主题的唱片"Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfu"
女歌手Cindi Lauper 的翻唱.
以前听过一些嗓音超级嘹亮的Cindi Lauper唱的80年代热门流行歌曲但无特别感觉, 但这首working class herro的Live让我一改印象... 魅!劲!
