U2 - Working Cla** Hero lyrics

As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** 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 Until you're so f**ing crazy you can't follow their rules A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for 20-odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function, you're so full of fear A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be They keep you doped up with religion and s** and TV And you think you're so clever and cla**less and free But you're still f**ing peasants as far as I can see A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** 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 k** If you want to be like all the folks on the hill A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** hero is something to be A working cla** 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
