Working Class Hero chords by Green Day

Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
   Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
                    Am
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
  Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am
A working class hero is something to be

 Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
     Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
 Am
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
  Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
     Am
Then they expect you to pick a career
Am
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
  Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.
        Am
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Am
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
  Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am
There's room at the top they are telling you still
     Am
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
Am
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
  Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am
A working class hero is something to be

   Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
   Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
