Working Class Hero - John Lennon



Uploaded by: jigowatts
Video Description:
Happy 67th birthday john !!
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 class less 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? Lennon was an affluent hippie! I am glad he was shot and killed with a Charter Arms .38 calibre revolver. Delete the pop-culture elite. Fuck 'im!

All I see here, besides the innocent fan compliments, and people looking for fights... Is the ignorant arguing with the slightly less ignorant.
I see some weirdo extremist post about how he's glad another human-being was killed. Then 2 or 3 people assuming the killer killed him, because he was a "yank prick"...
Sorry, if all "yanks" were like "Bowietipfour20" who's probably stoned anyways or Lennon's killer... we'd all be dead.
I think whether ... ( 19 hours ago by MarekM420)
I think whether British or American we should all be able to relate to this song. Besides the system of control in both countries is related. As americans we shouldn't fool ourselves by thinking we're anything but an extension of the english empire.
We're all taught through the economic measures of education, we value only that which is perceived as "advancement", not biologically, but fiscally.
A working class hero is something to be
as we tie ourselves to a plastic life and silken shackles

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

BowieTipFour20, you can kill a person like John, but still today I remember him and his "hippies" songs like I did at 1980, and like I´m still doing. Thanks for watching an P E A C E

Oh I'm so fucking scared. Just fuck off you social-climbing piece of excrement. The middle-class are breeder wankers who readily accept being pidgeon-holed in a social-class which makes them less than others. Now piss off to your Ivy League shithouse. I think you should look at the facts. In a Revolution, the bourgeois middle-class would be first to go at the hands of the angry mass. Now that you have a black President, who will accomplish fuck all in white America the risk is even greater.
But the American " ... ( 9 hours ago by beatityatube)
But the American "working-class" deludes itself into believing it's the middle-class. Al Bundy is working class, Archie Bunker is working class. If you work for UPS or shovel shit for a living, then guess what you are working class, live with it. Know your enemy. :-)
And your thoughts ... ( 9 hours ago by beatityatube)
And your thoughts on the fact that President Elect Obama has no exit strategy either and it now looks like the US commitment will be 3 more years - the Iraqi Parliament have set that deadline - NOT the US! American Democracy is a myth, if you haven't realised that already. Two sides of the same coin, which compromises either way.
