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 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
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
Герой рабочего класса
С момента рожденья лишён ты любви.
Сказали: как хочешь, бедняга, живи,
но сердце своё только не надорви…
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Тебе причиняли жестокую боль,
но ты не терял над собою контроль,
плевал ты на всё и играл свою роль.
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Лет двадцать тебя унижали, мой друг.
Но ты разорвал этот замкнутый круг,
непросто тебя стало взять на испуг.
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Но ты стал зависим от злого ТиВи,
от церкви, от секса и лживой любви.
Что, разве не так? Ты душой не криви.
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
И будут тебе ежедневно внушать,
что надо с улыбкой врагов убивать.
Но ты их сумеешь подальше послать.
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Стать хочешь героем? Так следуй за мной.
Стать хочешь героем? Так следуй за мной!
