Working Class Hero [Explicit]
Green Day

As soon as you're born they make you feel small

By giving you no time instead of it all

'Til 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 if you're clever and despise a fool

'Til 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 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're telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

If you wanna be like all the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be


A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

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
