Lyrics and translation John Lennon - Working Class Hero (Anthology Version)
As
soon
as
you're
born
they
make
you
feel
small
Dès
ta
naissance,
tu
te
sens
petit
By
giving
you
no
time
instead
of
it
all
Parce
qu'ils
ne
te
donnent
pas
de
temps,
mais
tout
Till
the
pain
is
so
big
you
feel
nothing
at
all
Jusqu'à
ce
que
la
douleur
soit
si
grande
que
tu
ne
ressens
plus
rien
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
They
hurt
you
at
home
and
they
hit
you
at
school
Ils
te
font
mal
à
la
maison
et
ils
te
frappent
à
l'école
They
hate
you
if
you're
clever
and
they
despise
a
fool
Ils
te
détestent
si
tu
es
intelligent
et
ils
méprisent
les
imbéciles
Till
you're
so
fucking
crazy
you
can't
follow
their
rules
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
sois
tellement
fou
que
tu
ne
puisses
plus
suivre
leurs
règles
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
When
they've
tortured
and
scared
you
for
twenty-odd
years
Quand
ils
t'ont
torturé
et
fait
peur
pendant
une
vingtaine
d'années
Then
they
expect
you
to
pick
a
career
Alors
ils
s'attendent
à
ce
que
tu
choisisses
une
carrière
When
you
can't
really
function
you're
so
full
of
fear
Quand
tu
ne
peux
pas
vraiment
fonctionner,
tu
es
tellement
plein
de
peur
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un

de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
A
working
class
hero
is

Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,

chose
à

Keep
you
doped
with
religion
and
sex
and
TV
Ils
te
dopent
avec
la
religion,
le
sexe
et
la
télévision
And
you
think
you're
so
clever
and
classless
and
free
Et
tu
te
crois
si
intelligent,
sans
classe
et
libre
But
you're
still
fucking
peasants
as
far
as
I
can
see
Mais
tu
n'es
toujours
qu'un
putain
de
paysan,
pour
autant
que
je
sache
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to
be
Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
A
working
class
hero
is
something
to

Un
héros
de
la
classe
ouvrière,
c'est
quelque
chose
à
être
There's
room
at
the
top
they're
telling
you
still
Ils
te
disent
qu'il
y
a
de
la
place
au
sommet
But
first
you
must
learn
how
to
smile
as
you
kill
Mais
tu
dois
d'abord
apprendre
à
sourire
en
tuant
If
you
want
to
be
like
the
folks
on
the
hill
Si
tu
veux
être
comme
les
gens
de
la
colline

veux
être
un
héros,
suis-moi
