Working Class Hero - John Lennon

Back


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

If you'd get the idea behind this song it's for sure that Green Day's interpretation has desecrated this.

And your thoughts on the fact that President Elect Obama has no exit strategy either and it now looks like the US commitment will be 3 more years - the Iraqi Parliament have set that deadline - NOT the US! American Democracy is a myth, if you haven't realised that already. Two sides of the same coin, which compromises either way.

But the American "working-class" deludes itself into believing it's the middle-class. Al Bundy is working class, Archie Bunker is working class. If you work for UPS or shovel shit for a living, then guess what you are working class, live with it. Know your enemy. :-)

Oh I'm so fucking scared. Just fuck off you social-climbing piece of excrement. The middle-class are breeder wankers who readily accept being pidgeon-holed in a social-class which makes them less than others. Now piss off to your Ivy League shithouse. I think you should look at the facts. In a Revolution, the bourgeois middle-class would be first to go at the hands of the angry mass. Now that you have a black President, who will accomplish fuck all in white America the risk is even greater.

BowieTipFour20, you can kill a person like John, but still today I remember him and his "hippies" songs like I did at 1980, and like I´m still doing. Thanks for watching an P E A C E
