| John Lennon – Working Class Hero Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think the song is just random ramblings about what is wrong with the world, yet the best some can strive to be is just one who exists both inside and outside those bounds, someone who is not radical about rebellion and change but rather one who quietly voices his/her discontent before moving on. "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" Just kind of talking about how society belittles the human spirit, rather focusing on the limitations of mankind instead of the beauty of it. "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" This is just talking about how in society, most people are expected to fit this "generally knowledgeable" persona, whereas if you know too much about something, you're considered "obsessed". He could be referring to how others referred to him as a child, but that is mere speculation and has no backing whatsoever. "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" Obviously about public education. "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" This is about Communism, about how instead of being a classless society there are instead a society of the lowest denominator. "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" Referring to how many leaders of the world are based in the military and like to flaunt their military duty. |

| I think its a continuation of "Fuck You Lucy" because the songs have the exact same chord progression and this is about how he's taken up drinking to relieve the pain. | |
