As soon as you're born they make you feel small
Bm A Bm
By giving you no time instead of it all
Bm A Bm
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
Bm A Bm
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Bm A Bm
Till you're so fuckin' crazy you can't follow their rules
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Bm A Bm
Then they expect you to pick a career
Bm A Bm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
A working class hero is something to be
Bm A Bm
Keep you doped with religion, sex and TV
Bm A Bm
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Bm A Bm
But you're still fuckin' peasants as far as I can see
Bm A Bm
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 all 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
Green Day - Working Class Hero Live
Green Day Working Class Hero Live American Idol GREEN DAY stunned America on the finale of talent show AMERICAN IDOL the night of 23- May-07 with a performance of JOHN lennon's WORKING CLASS HERO. The punk trio's surprise appearance on the hit show was staged to promote a new album of Lennon covers, Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. The performance marked the first for any acts appearing on the charity album, which will help raise funds and awareness for Amnesty International's efforts for Darfur, Sudan. Billie Joe Armstrong says his group chose to perform Working Class Hero on the album because "its themes of alienation, class, and social status really resonated with us." The two-CD set, which also features Lennon covers from acts like Christina Aguilera, U2, Avril Lavigne, Snow Patrol, Lenny Kravitz and REM, will be released in July (07).

Green Day - Working Class Hero
This (unlike some other videos) actually has a message that I think is worth putting into a video. It gives you a very strong emotion if you actually pay attention...
Green Day - Working Class Hero on American Idol
"Q: You were actually on 'American Idol' a couple of years ago. BJA: We played [John Lennon's] 'Working Class Hero.' It was interesting because we had the "F" word and their show is live, so we had to pre-record our song so that they could bleep out the "F" words. We almost got thrown off the show before it even started because they didn't trust us. It's like, "Man, we've done [live TV] so many times. We can do this." And finally they're like, "OK, you guys have to record it before." So we played to a completely empty room."
