working class hero
-
john lennon'un taa 1970'te cikardigi ilk solo albumunden bir sarki. screaming trees, marianne faithfull, roger taylor, blind melon ve daha saire tarafindan da yorumlanmistir. hatta bir anma konserinde kylie minogue soylemisti bu sarkiyi, "a working class hero is something to be" kismini "a working class hero is stuck in the bed" anlamistim, yillarca oyle caldi sarki kafamda. sozler pek uzuncludur aslinda.

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
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
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
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
if you want to be a hero well just follow me -
'din le, sexle ve televizyonla uyutulursun, kendini akilli, sinifsiz ve ozgur zannedersin, oysa gordugum kadariyla sikindirik bir koylusun hala' diyen lennon'un orta tabaka konformizmine lanet yagdirdigi bestesi.

sözleri konu üzerine yüzlerce akademik çalışmadan, entellektüel şorlamadan ve dahi kuru laf kalabalığından çok daha fazlasını anlatan şarkı.
