Marilyn Manson - Working Class Hero Lyrics






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

    F.... C....

  53. J.... S....

    I'm fucking speechless

  54. M.... D....

    I like Marilyn Mansons version better, than green days save Africa version.

  55. R.... M....

    This is in a secret track?

  56. E.... F....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAG5iex6bSQ
    I covered this song as a duet with my friend Ramsey. It would mean a lot if you could check it out! :)

  57. K.... R....

    Best rendition by far.

  58. B.... B....

    Youre so fucking crazy you cant follow their rules...<3

  59. S.... C....

    Bob Dylan le vendió la letra a jhonn Lennon , y Marilyn Manson la hizo suceso en el ambiente andergraund ...

  60. G.... G....

    As if John Lennon version wasn't chilling enough Marilyn Manson has to come in and make it even more chilling

  61. D.... 2....

    Best Cover Ever!

  62. A.... ....

    Being a working class hero is something to avoid. But when you're left no other option than struggling to survive, then it's better than starving or selling out to the hypocrisy of the status quo. Stop giving your money to the crap on TV.

  63. L.... R....

    I love all your covers of Marilyn Manson, I love it!

  64. f.... z....

    Tudo errado

  65. M.... P....

    i feel ur pain Mr Manson

  66. J.... P....

    This is shit if you compare it to swedens Jerry Williams! He dit it in early 80’s. To be honest, Jerrys verrsion should be the original.

  67. S.... S....

    Marilyn Manson is so talented in a unique way.

  68. P.... ....

    This is my second favorite version of "Working Class Hero" the first being Green Day's

  69. M.... N....

    beautiful fucking cover

  70. M.... H....

    työväem luolla hieroo...

  71. B.... A....

    Best cover ever!!

  72. Z.... ....

    Satan himself dislikes MM version of this song. Maybe he has a reason. Please don't ruin this perfect dislike result!

  73. M.... ....

    Just hit the 666th dislike.

  74. M.... C....

    First you must learn to smile as you kill!!!!!!!

  75. M.... C....

    This song sums up life!

  76. M.... R....

    SO WELL DONE!!!!!!!!! <3

  77. g.... 1....

    😁😁😁😁😁😁

  78. D.... L....

    only when I hear this voice... I know Im gonna like it

  79. N.... ....

    Best Cover

  80. N.... ....

    Best singer best artist best voice

  81. T.... D....

    His voice sounds like he had a cold or something. Also he only did an acoustic cover. Clearly they did not know wether or not if they would release it. Kind of sad. It would've been nice if he put in effort and put it on lest we forget. Kind of a waste of a cover if you ask me.

  82. W.... K....

    Eat the rich! Devour them!

  83. t.... ....

    Joe Lampton

  84. L.... P....

    Nah, doesn't rocks. Roger Taylor did a better cover of this Lennon's masterpiece.
    Anyway MM it's still great.

  85. N.... U....

    💚💙💚

  86. J.... N....

    The sound is so bad i hear nothing at all.

  87. C.... R....

    Manson is bad ass

  88. T.... ....

    Marilyn Lennon.

  89. H.... Q....

    I like his cover but I like Greendays better🎸🎤

  90. M.... A....

    I think Green Day was the best cover for this song!!!

  91. M.... A....

    Certainly the best version there is. The original is so boring after listening to Manson's cover...

  92. M.... C....

    The rise of the proletariat is so sexy.

  93. G.... C....

    The best One is from Ozzy

    G.... C....

    Gennarino Cutrolo the best one is from lennon

    G.... C....

    Music is subjective. I really like this cover as well as Ozzy's rendition. Lennon was a douchebag. I dig the Beatles, just not John as a man.
