As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you more time instead of a fall Till the memes are so real you feel nothing at all For the working class heros, it’s something to be A working class hero, it’s something to be They fail you at home as they pass you at school Expel you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fracking crazy you can't follow the rules They say, “a working class student, it’s something to be” When they've tortured and scared you for seven more years Then they expect you to put down the beers But you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class student, it’s something to be They say, “a working class student, it’s something to be” Keep us doped with distractions of god and theory We think we're so indie and awkward and free But there’s still frac’ing peasants as far as I can see A working class student, it’s something to be A working class soldier, it’s something to be Walking on glass, with a porn store below discharge the queerbait, bound for a show Manipulating reasons, the lines you must tow A working class soldier, it’s something to be A working class leader, it’s something to be But there's room at the top they're selling you still First you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to ride over those dicks on the hill A working class hero it’s something to be We working class heros are something to be If you want to be a teacher, study with me
