Working Class Hero — текст песни (Marianne Faithfull)

As soon as youre 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 youre clever and they despise a fool

Till youre so fucking crazy you cant follow their rules.

A working class hero is something to be,

A working class hero is something to be.



When theyve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career,

But you really cant function youre 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 youre so clever and classless and free,

But youre 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.



Theres room at the top they are telling us still,

But first we must learn how to smile as we kill

If we want to live like 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.
