Working Class Hero
Unveiling the Struggle: Ozzy Osbourne's Working Class Hero
Lyrics
As soon as your born they make you feel small
From the moment of birth, societal influences diminish one's sense of importance and individuality.
By giving you no time instead of it all
Allocating limited time rather than providing the entirety of life's possibilities.
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
The pain becomes so overwhelming that emotional numbness sets in.
A working class hero is something to be
Being a working-class hero is a noteworthy and challenging aspiration.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
Experiencing mistreatment at home and school, facing disdain for intelligence and foolishness.
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Society disapproves of both cleverness and foolishness, leading to a state of mental turmoil.
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
The pressure intensifies to the point of mental instability, making it impossible to adhere to societal norms.
A working class hero is something to be
Reiterating the idea that becoming a working-class hero is a commendable goal despite the challenges.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
After enduring torment for two decades, society expects one to choose a career path.
Then they expect you to pick a career
Choosing a career becomes daunting when fear impedes one's ability to function.
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Struggling with fear, making it difficult to engage in daily life.
A working class hero is something to be
Despite the hardships, becoming a working-class hero remains a significant achievement.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
Society distracts individuals with religion, sex, and TV to maintain control.
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free
Feeling clever and liberated, but societal class distinctions persist.
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
Despite feeling free, one is still viewed as lower class.
A working class hero is something to be
Reaffirming the value of being a working-class hero despite societal judgments.
A working class hero is something to be
Emphasizing the importance of the working class hero once again.
There's room at the top they are telling you still
Society promises upward mobility, but conformity requires masking true feelings.
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
To succeed, one must learn to hide emotions while navigating a ruthless path.
If you want to be like the fool on the hill
If aspiring to be like those at the top, one must conform to societal expectations.
A working class hero is something to be
Reiterating the significance of being a working-class hero.
A working class hero is something to be
Reaffirming the importance of the working-class hero as a role model.
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
Encouraging others to follow the path to become a hero, challenging societal norms.
