GREEN DAY

- Working Class Hero Lyrics

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til 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 if you're clever and despise a fool
'Til you're so **** 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 classless and free
But you're still **** 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're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
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

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, the song 'Working Class Hero' by Green Day describes the challenges which working class people encounter when they attempt to navigate their essential existence. The system operates through educational institutions and religious organizations and mass media to force people to conform and its mechanisms prevent them from expressing their unique identities. The lyrics emphasize the idea of being a 'working class hero' as someone who resists these oppressive forces and stands up for their beliefs, even in the face of societal pressure to conform. The lyrics of working class hero express social criticism, emotional turmoil, personal empowerment, deep sadness, and self-examination. The song demonstrates how people fight against their social environment while facing the challenges of class conflict and the disillusionment that comes with societal norms. The lyrics contain strong language and themes of violence and societal critique, which may not be suitable for children. The use of profanity and references to adult themes warrant a restricted rating.
