Working Class Hero - de John Lennon
As soon as your 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 classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents 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.

então óh Diogo, não há aqui uma contradição? então "o trabalho está-se a acabar" e emocionas-te com um "Herói da Classe Operária"??
ultrapassada esta observação sacana (lol) é preciso recordar que
o Lennon tinha, à data em que foi assassinado, ficha aberta na CIA - enquanto ao Nixon quando falava toda a gente lhe desligava o aparelho nas fuças, o "John" (nick name que em dialecto novaiorquino se chama ao pirilau) Lennon conseguia juntar multidões de 1 milhão de pessoas em Central Park para concertos-comício ao ar livre e à borla. Belos tempos. Outra curiosidade é o caso do aparecimento da Yoko: conta-se que a canção "Get Back" foi composta pelo McCartney com a intenção de recambiar a japonesa de volta para casa.
Xatoo,
Emociono-me com uma cantiga muito bem conseguida. E espero que a classe operária e de escritório acabe em breve. Detesto ver gente amarrada a uma linha de montagem, seja com uma chave de fendas ou um teclado.
Também já ouvi dizer que a Yoko «One» deu cabo dos Fabulous Four.
Abraço
