Marilyn Manson - Working Class Hero chords

[Am]
Soon as you're born, [G]
they make you feel [Am] small
Giving you no [G] time instead of it [Am] all
Till the pain is so big you feel [G] nothing [Am] at all
A working class [G] hero is something to [Am] be
A [G] working class hero [D] is [Am] something to be
They hurt you at [G] home and they hit you [Am] at school
They hate you if you're clever [G] and they despise [Am] a fool
It's so fucking crazy you [G] can't follow [Am] the rules
A working class [G] hero is something [Am] to be
A working [G] class [D] hero is something to [Am] be
When they tortured and scared you [G] for twenty odd [Am] years
Then they [G] expect you to pick a [Am] career
When you can't really function, [G] you're so full of [Am] fear
A working class hero [G] is [Am] something to be
A [G] working class hero [D] is [Am] something to be
You keep it up with religion, [G] your sex and [Am] TV
You think you're so clever [G] and classless [Am] and free
You're still fucking peasants [G] as far [Am] as I can see
A working class [G] hero is something [Am] to be
A working [G] class hero [D] is something [Am] to be
There's room at the top, they [G] are [Am] telling you still
First you must learn [G] how to smile [Am] as you kill
You want to be like [G] the folks on [Am] the hill
A working class hero [G] is [Am] something to be
A working [G] class [Dm] hero is [Am] something to be
You want to be a hero, [G] then just follow [Am] me
You want to be a [G] hero, [D] then just follow [Am] me
[N]
