Workin Class Hero Lyrics

Woke up this morning my head stuck in a haze

You know it's headed for a real bad place

Nobody told me it would be this way

Working for peanuts livin' day to day

But I gotta eat so I'll hit the street

So I don't end up a victim of the jaws of defeat

My baby loves me I can see it in her eyes

She knows I'm worried this I cannot hide

She tries to tell me things will be all right

And that is why I gotta say I won't give up this fight

Now I gotta run ain't no time for fun

I'm a working class hero till the day is done

Working class hero that ain't no lie

Workin all the time and I can tell you why

Guess I'll be workin' the rest of my life

I'm a working class hero till the day that I die

Ooh landlord is knockin' at the door for the rent

How can I tell her all my money's been spent

Maybe I shoulda camped out in a tent

Because all them good jobs already came and went

All they could say was had a nice day

They didn't even give a damn about them bills I got to pay

Listen up

Now all I do is bust my ass all day

Ain't got no time to go outside and play

Eviction notice says I'm losing my place

Looks like I could be livin' in my Chevrolet

But am I wrong for singin' this song

About a working class hero tryin' to get the job done

Working class hero that ain't no lie

Working all the time and I can tell you why

Guess I'll be workin' the rest of my life

I'm a working class hero till the day that I die

Working class hero mmm, mmm

Working class hero yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Working class hero ain't no time to cry

I'm a working class hero till the day that I die
