I'm sick and tired of hearing things From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth
I've had enough of reading things By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of hope Money for dope Money for rope
A working-class hero is something to be A working-class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero, then just follow me
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, then just follow me...
