"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 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"
Working Class Hero (1970)
Esto aprendí ayer sobre John Lennon (Spotify & WWW): más
allá de su conocida sensibilidad social y humana (Imagine), una admirable
capacidad para la ironía y la mala leche, bien orientadas políticamente.
Merecido homenaje (mutuo) en Ciudad de La Habana.
