Daha doğar doğmaz kendini küçük hissetmeni sağlarlar

Hiç zaman ayırmazlar sana, vereceklerine hepsini

Acın o kadar büyür ki hiç hissetmez olursun...

Evde döverler seni, okulda canını yakarlar

Zekiysen nefret ederler, aptalsan aşağılarlar

Deliye dönersin sonunda ve uyamazsın kurallarına...

Yirmi küsur yıl korkuturlar, işkence ederler bedenine

Sonra haydi bakalım derler, bir meslek seç kendine

Korkudan tutulup kalmışsındır, kıpırdayamazsın bile...

Her gün uyutuyorlar sizi, televizyonla, dinle, seksle

Pek zeki, sınıfsız ve özgür sanıyorsunuz kendinizi siz de

Boktan köylülersiniz hâlâ, bakıyorum da size...

Yukarılarda yer var hâlâ diyorlar, isteyenlere

Ama öldürürken gülümsemeyi öğrenin önce

Tepedekiler gibi olmak istiyorsanız siz de...

Kolay iş değil işçi sınıfı kahramanı olmak

Eğer bir kahramanı olmak isterseniz, yalnızca takip edin beni…

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
