Read the lyrics of the song.

We are looking for inferences and connotations of words.

You have to look beyond the word on the page to get the meanings.

In class write some of the meanings you gain from reading the words.

Working class hero

1. Explain what this means When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career.

2 Explain There's room at the top, they're telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be

These are evaluations of students

Tell what they mean

'Lagging behind"

"Making great strides"

A joy to have in my class

I wish we had a class full of kid's like yours

he is a delinquent

Working class hero

1. Explain what this means When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career.

2 Explain There's room at the top, they're telling you still

As soon as you're born they make you feel small John Lennon
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til 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 if you're clever and despise a fool
'Til you're so **** crazy you can't follow their rules
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

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still **** peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be


There's room at the top, they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
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
