I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING WONDERFUL WITH YOU...

[Jeffersons Ghost]

John Lennon - Working Class Hero Lyrics


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 religion, sex and T.V.
and you think you're so clever and classless and free
but you're still fucking peasants 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

Yes , 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

now here's the "wonderful"

5. I also have never heard this song

I love John Lennon, he is so missed. Rest in peace John, you made my life a little more beautiful for having been.

Thank you for bringing this song to our attention, JG. :hug:

6. that trip down memory lane was truly my pleasure... here's another obscure great by him...

His wedding ballad:
"The Ballad of John & Yoko"

Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France

The man in the mac said you've got to go back

You know they didn't even give us a chance

Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be

The way things are going, they're going to crucify me

Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine

Peter Brown call to say, you can make it O.K.

You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain

Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be

The way things are going, they're going to crucify me

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, talking in our beds for a week

The newspapers said, say what're you doing in bed

I said we're only trying to get us some peace
