Translation
Bilingual
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
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
They hurt you at home, and they hit you at school
ย
They hate you if you're clever, and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
ย
Then they expect you to pick a career
ย
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
ย
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
There's room at the top, they are telling you still
ย
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
ย
A working class hero is something to be
ย
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
ย
