工人阶级英雄（约翰·列侬）

创作发行于The Beatles解散后的同一年(1970年）。据说在美国有电台经理曾因播放此歌面临入狱，其它许多电台则因歌词里有Fucking一词被禁，在澳洲发行时则唱片歌曲和歌词皆被卫生处理。先后有二十多个歌手或乐队翻唱过这首歌曲。

1.约翰·列侬原唱

2.Green Day2007年翻唱版，收录于以关注苏丹达法儿地区动乱为主题的唱片"Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfu"。

3.2007年5月23日Green Day在电视节目American Idol（美国偶像）中翻唱版
不知何人。视频上传者的说明：this clip is taken from a live stream show i did in very early march 2011. i added some synths to create a slightly more edgy feel since the original recording had vocal levels just slightly too high and the guitar which was strong in the cans when i recorded it didn't reflect the same post the stream

4.英国爵士/流行/民谣歌手/演员玛丽安妮·费丝福 Marianne Faithfull 在2000年演唱版
Noir Désir - Working Class Hero (GISTI 1999)

还有个Cyndi Lauper演唱版看起来颇为颓废状，不转了。
这首歌的歌词网上有许多译本，但多数都译得很不靠谱，错误太多。较好的译本大概只看到这个（http://www.haianw.com/thread-26389-1-1.html）。这里发的是本人改译的。
工人阶级英雄
(Working Class Hero - Live)
你一出生他们就让你自感渺小
他们不给你时间卸下自卑
直到痛苦强烈到使你麻木
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
在家里他们伤害你 在学校他们打击你
你聪明，他们就恨你；你笨，就看不起你
直到你发狂 没法守他们的规矩
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
二十多年来折磨你恐吓你
然后他们希望你挑个职业
但你已经出毛病了 你满心恐惧
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
他们用宗教和性和电视麻醉你
你自认为很聪明 非阶级 自由自在
但在我看来你还是他妈个乡巴佬
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
他们告诉你上层仍有位置
但你先得学会杀人时面带微笑
如果你想要像那些上层人物
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
当个工人阶级英雄多了不起
想成为英雄你就跟我来吧
想成为英雄就跟我来吧

英文歌词：
Working Class Hero
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 classless 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
加班令人老，岁月忽已晚
能力有限，任务无穷……
