As soon as your 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
Working class hero is something to be,
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 so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
Working class hero is something to be,
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,
Working class hero is something to be,
working class hero is something to be.
They keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
Working class hero is something to be,
working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
First you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
Working class hero is something to be.
working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero then just follow me,
If you want to be a hero then just follow me.
America bled to death
electric and pregnant
brilliant sluts and fire worship
devouring the righteous
we were just monkeys braiding thread
we were golden needles
diamonds and pollen
And Coma White
a manniqueen of depression
with the face of the dead star
fagged out for the coroner
she was so soft in the bed
and the pomegranet earth
spins into oblivion
The one that trembles
the one that fears
the one that suffers
the one that vomits
the one that needs
( Repeat 2 times )
A million scars, a million promises
( Repeat 6 times )
And all your sad endings
are planting in their gardens
and they're waiting to grow
and to die like flowers do
( Repeat 3 times )
