WORKING CLASS HERO/GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, 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 the 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, sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless 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 when 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.
Let me tell you now,
Everybody's talking about
Revolution, Evolution, Mastication, Flagellation, Regulations.
Integration, Meditation, United Nations, Osamas, Saddams.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Oh Let's stick to it.
Everybody's talking about.
I-ching, bible, tarot, Hitler, Jesus, Kennedy, Buddha, mantra, Gita, yoga, kings, Elvis, Zimmerman, Beatles, me.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
All we are saying is give peace a chance!
