John Lennon, Working Class Hero (1970)
^{Key: :[G#m] (w: John Lennon)}

VERSE 1:
[G#m] As soon as you're born they [F#] make you feel [G#m] small
[G#m] By giving you no time in-[F#]-stead of it [G#m] all
[G#m] 'til the pain is so big you feel [F#] nothing at [G#m] 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 they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'til youre so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

VERSE 3:
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you cant really function you're so full of fear

VERSE 4:
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
and you think you're so clever and classless and free
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see

VERSE 5:
There's room at the top they're telling you still
but first you must learn to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

OUTRO:
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
