Manic Street Preachers Lyrics for Song: Working Class Hero
 Lyrics for Album: Send Away the Tigers [2007]
 
 
 
 14508>As soon as you're 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 hit you at home and hit you at school
 
 They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
 
 Till you're so fucking crazy you can follow the rules
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 
 
 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
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 
 
 Keep you doped with religion, sex and TV
 
 And you think you're so clever and classless and free
 
 But you're still fucking peasants as far as I could 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 when you kill
 
 If you want to be like the folks on the hill
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 A working class hero is something to be
 
 
 
 If you want to be a hero then just follow me
 
 If you want to be a hero then just follow me
 
 14508>
