Working Class Hero

By John Lennon

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 hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their 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 and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less and free
But you're 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

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as 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 well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

As soon as you are born they make you feel big
By giving you no time but the money you dig
Till the cash is flowing and you got no feeling
A business class hero is something to be
A business class hero is something to be

When they\\\'ve raised and prepared you for twenty odd years
Then you except them to give you a career
And when comes the weekend you\\\'re so full of beer
A business class hero is something to be
A business class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with drugs and money and TVs
And you think you\\\'re so clever with your smile for ladies
But you\\\'re still fucking stupid as far as I can see
A business class hero is something to be
A business class hero is something to be

There\\\'s room at the top and you\\\'re telling them still
But first they must learn how to smile as you kill
If they want to be like the folks on the hill
A business class hero is something to be
A business class hero is something to be
If you want to be a zero well just follow him
If you want to be a zero well just follow him

Une des plus belles chansons qu'il m'ait été donné d'entendre en effet. Et peut-être la meilleure de Lennon.
Je crois que c'est une des premières chansons avec un "fucking" dans les paroles, à l'époque ça avait scandalisé tout le monde.
Cette chanson contient pas mal de vérités et d'émotions qui traversent les âges.
