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 Tags :workingclassherojohnlennonpeacelovelifeyokoplasticonobandfate
A lot of people have covered Lennon's great
song; but this is the best cover AFAIK, and
far better than her studio version.
From the sadly-departed NYC soundstage show
"Sessions at West 54th", and first aired on
late at night on American PBS stations (with
naughty word and all) early in 2000. Video
found via ed2k and probably off of her DVD
"Dreaming my Dreams". Tags :FaithfullLennoncover
This is not me
This is a home made music video by a man
named shawn barrester.
This video times much better with the audio
on the original file, youtube's compression
desychronized them. Tags :loverboyworkingweekendmusicvideobarrester
