Marilyn Manson — Working Class Hero

[Verse 1] As soon as you're born, they make you feel small Giving you no time, instead of it all 'Till the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all [Refrain] Working class hero is something to be Working class hero is something to be [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Working class hero is something to be Working class hero is something to be [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] Working class hero is something to be Working class hero is something to be [Verse 4] We keep you doped with religion and your 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 [Refrain] Working class hero is something to be Working class hero is something to be [Verse 5] "There's a room at the top," they are telling you, still First, you must learn how to smile as you kill If you wanna be like the folks on the hill [Refrain] Working class hero is something to be Working class hero is something to be [Outro] If you wanna be a hero, then just follow me If you wanna be a hero, then just follow me
