Working Class Hero Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

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 your clever and they despise a fool 

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't fallow their 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 20 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 wit religion and 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
