If you want to be hero well just follow me

As soon as your 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...
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 despise a fool.
Till you're 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 20 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...

Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.,
and you think you're so clever and classless and free,
but 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, I'm 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,
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.

-Working Class Hero, John Lennon-

30 anni fa partiva, per andare da qualche parte. Pepperland forse. Non dite che è morto, o meglio, lo è solo ufficialmente e "fisicamente". Basti ascoltare le sue canzoni per sentirselo tremendamente vicino, sentirlo appunto vivere. Forse la musica era (è) la sua vita, e la maniera predefinita per far sentire a chiunque voglia ascoltarlo sul serio che non se n'è andato.

Ciao John..
