Working Class Hero - John Lennon

Filed under: Uncategorized

A good song.

(from the video link description)

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

Back from vacation. It’s hailing, a sure sign I’m back in Canada.

Anyways, while in Croatia I watched a few movies on a portable DVD player, one of them called Tesna Koža (Tight Skin), I highly recommend it. Anyways, one of the songs played was called “Mile Voli Disco” which led me to Lepa Brena (the artist who wrote/preformed Mile Voli Disco), and eventually to her song Živela Jugoslavija (Long Live Yugoslavija), which is pretty awesome.
