Working Class Hero Manic Street Preachers

[Verse 1]
As soon as your 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

[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 2]
They hurt you at home and hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Until you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
