    finally a band that covers a song and actually gives credit to the original singer/writer by letting John sing the last line, great cover and I'm sure John would have liked it. Green day gave the song a new meaning but I don't think that's bad, they used the song to make ppl aware of other problems in the world which is just as important

      +letsHugElefanten You're absolutely right. This song was recorded a few years ago as a part of a John Lennon remembrance compilation called Instant Karma, which served as a benefit for amnesty international's attempts to help the crisis in Darfur (which is why the actually very real people with very real stories appear in this video). The songs weren't covered to benefit the bands, but to honor Lennon and what he stood for, and hopefully make the world a better place.

    12 years late, in December 2018, People of Sudan revolted against the government. We MADE it and took them down. Those who were in charge of the genocide in Darfur are in jail now. Thank you Billie from the bottom of my heart, watching the music video left me in tears..

    Idgaf what people think of Green Day, this is one of the greatest covers in the history of rock.
    I have unconditional respect for the members of the band. When they do something charitable, it comes from a real place, because they understand what it's like to grow up in poor households. It's never a PR thing with them. They help people not just because they care, but because they understand.

      Same. It's 4am in the morning here. I just woke up and thought 'I need to hear that song'. The nostalgia, the reason for the cover, the amount my life has changed since first hearing this song (now married and have a son), Billie's haunting vocals, the music video and the way the world was back then (the world is still an ugly place but for different reasons now) it made me very emotional! I'm not going back to sleep now!

  • @dumbteenagemisfit4884

I remember sneaking onto UA-cam at school by looking up hockey videos and getting onto it from those because the homepage was blocked, and then I'd listen to this song as I waited for a new album after American Idiot. Damn, time really does fly. Now I'm starting fucking college and typing a comment nobody gives a shit about XD No matter how you spend your time, just make sure your enjoying it.

    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 if you're clever and 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 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
    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
    If you want to be a hero well just follow me

    Bands (in this case Green Day) do covers to show their respect, and they do the songs to their style. If you don't like this version, stop hating. That's what wrong in this world. Have a great day.

    The song is a commentary/criticism on the difference between social classes, I am sure John Lennon would be proud of Greenday's cover.

    The green day version is, (I don't want to say better) More... Alive than the John Lennon one, the electric guitar, the drums and Billie Joe's voice sounds perfect.
    And by the way, I read the comments and there was one that said that the video has nothing to do with the song, well, if you didn't know this, green day recorded this song in tribute to John Lennon and for the album called "the international campaign to Save Darfur... And I'm pretty sure that the people are from darfur

    • @crosshairs3
      @crosshairs3 10 років тому +5

      John Lennon's original was supposed to be simple. just John singing with his guitar. that is all you need and it gets its power from being simple.
      plus the song has nothing to do with darfur sudan palistine. it is a critique of western society

    • @chrish5342
      @chrish5342 5 років тому +2

      The lyrics in thjs song needs no musicsl instruments. The instruments just compliment the powerful words of this song . To some its a simple song but to others this song touches topics as relevant in Johns time as it still is in our time.
