Amazing...this Chicago indie band I have just discovered.
Their videos are shocking and their music so different, fresh..but pay attention to the lyrics of this song. It's really important what it says.
Listen and feel the moment that matters at all.
Let's live this precious present we have, forget those past moments and don't think about the future.
..they hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules..
Today, 1st May, is the International Workers' Day...and the best day to remember this John's Lennon song..Working Class Hero.
Nothing to add to such powerful words from the genius Lennon.
Working class hero
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
a 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 they despise a fool
till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules
a working class hero is something to be
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
a working class hero is something to be
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
a working class hero is something to be
There’s room at the top they’re 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
if you want to be a hero well just follow me
Nada más al nacer te hacen sentir pequeño
sin darte tiempo en vez de dártelo todo
hasta que el dolor es tan grande que no sientes nada
un héroe de la clase obrera es algo que hay que ser
Te hieren en casa y te pegan en la escuela
te odian si eres listo y desprecian al tonto
hasta que estás tan jodidamente loco que no puedes seguir sus reglas
un héroe de la clase obrera es algo que hay que ser
Cuando te han torturado y asustado durante veinte años
entonces esperan que elijas una carrera
pero estás tan acojonado que no puedes funcionar
un héroe de la clase obrera es algo que hay que ser
Te drogan con religión, sexo y tele
y tú te crees tan listo, independiente y libre
pero a mí me parece que sigues siendo un jodido paleto
un héroe de la clase obrera es algo que hay que ser
Te dicen que hay un sitio en la cima
pero primero has de aprender a sonreir mientras matas
si quieres ser un ricachón
un héroe de la clase obrera es algo que hay que ser
si quieres ser un héroe, vale, sígueme..
Do we really have what we deserve? April used to be a gentle month. Please April, be kind with all of us.. Let's enjoy this shocking, inspiring song...for now.
