in association with warner bros. records, green day just released its cover of john lennon's classic song working class hero, proceeds of which will go to support amnesty international's campaign to stop the violence in darfur...the full album, instant karma: the amnesty international campaign to save darfur will be available on june 12th, and will include lennon tracks covered best-selling artists - including u2, r.e.m., christina aguilera, the black eyed peas and jackson browne.
with hundreds of thousands already killed and another 2.5 million civilians forced to flee their homes, the u.s. government considers the atrocities in darfur genocide...the need is great, but we believe if we each take one small action, collectively, we can end the violence...start today by downloading a track.
peace out <3
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
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
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
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 class less and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
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 well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
