As soon as you're 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

    Bm           A        Em          Bm
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
            A         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

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
                         A          Bm
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
                          A          Bm
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

There's room at the top they are telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
