[Verse 1]
From the moment 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

[Refrain]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 2]
They hurt you at home, they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till your mind is so bent you can't follow their rules

[Refrain]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 3]
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
You think you're so clever, so classless, so free
But you're all still my peasants as far as I can see

[Refrain]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 4]
They've tortured and scared me for twenty-five years
And then they expect me to pick a career
But I can't even function 'cause I'm so full of fear

[Refrain]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

[Verse 5]
There is 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 all those folks on the hill

[Refrain]
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
And if you want to be a hero then just follow me
You want to be a hero then just follow me
You want to be a hero then just follow me
You want to be a hero then just follow me
You want to be a hero then just follow me
Just follow me

[Outro]
Come children, come home
Come home
Welcome back angels
It's been a pleasure welcoming you home
I'm sure God will be very happy that you're back
Oh, there's that key
Oh, haha, there it is
Ascension millennium
Now you got the feeling and your heart is not believing
