G Am

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Am G Am

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

G Am

They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool

G Am

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

A working class hero is something to be

Am G Am

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
