Happy 67th birthday john !!
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 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 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 and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less 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 as 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

Calripson you have great comlex my friend.
you are the hypocrite indead, Lennon was a millionaire but the meaning of the song is right, that's the importance. A millionaire tells you about a truth we all face, and the only thing you understant it was his money. You are pathetic dude watch some football let the art to tothers that have mind.
And you have a anticimmunist complex also???
I Think a communist girl might left you and you see hypocrites everywhere!!!
Come on Calripson, entertain us!

Yes, Lennon the centimillionaire was a working class hero in the same vein the Vladimir Ulyanov- Lenin - was the vanguard of the proletariat. In Lenin's case, that meant living a life of luxury, surrounded by his servants, never lifting a finger for manual labor. Both full of shit.
