As soon as your born they make you feel small

BG+G+G+G+F#+E+F#+E+D+F#+E+

by giving you no time instead of it all--

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

BG+G+G+G+F#+F#+F#+E+D+F#+E+

A Working Class Hero is something to be---

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

BG+G+G+G+F#+E+F#+E+D+F#+E+

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

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

Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.

BG+G+G+G+F#+E+F#+E+D+F#+E+

and you think you're so clever and classless and free
