I give a warm smile, but cud never kill, all the successful people from my yr at school were geeks, i was tought to dumb down, hindsight, i cud run rings round the geeks, but now as I peddle my bike they pass me, in a 50k car, ahhh well least av gt my fitness, av had the 20k car yrs ago, but never legal, twinned up, cloned, is my car, now am banned for life, life is what happens while you are making plans, its mad, as a kid i wanted to grow old, fast, now am nrly 50 and i wanna be young, paradox of life
@tdog1656 If you don't get it I recommend Bill Cooper ,hour of the time. Allan Watt, cutting through the matrix. You will wake up if your lucky,but probably easier not to look .😎War is a Racket, by Smedley Butler. They Live ,by John Carpenter.
A fool is someone who doesn’t understand when a guy with a $100 million in the bank wants you to feel sorry for him, if he hated being this working class hero why not just walk away, fucking hypocrite played his fans, his wife and kid and his working class past to play god, how did that work out for him
When I first heard this song 43 years ago,it was like a wake up call.After that I stopped working to be in the public as a musician.Nope,not for this system.I do not sale my soul to sneaky managers and a company,,for no money in the world.I like to live an odernary life as a nothing maker.You also can be in artist by standing not in the public.I rather play for myself God and Homeless people.To me that makes more sense.Live Long And Prosper Everybody🖖
I remember being able to cry when I was sad and actually having some value on my life. Now I'm just apathetic, cold and don't really even care if I live or die. Childhood trauma and severe anxiety + depression is fun.
Kinda sucks I have/had so much potential but I just cant do anything at all because my mind keeps me down I'm 21 and have not even finished high school wtf am I doing :D 140iq but living like a rat in a cage with no hope for better.
I heard awhile back that john had no idea what workin class was. That is so asinine. He grew up in liverpool eveyone was working class. England was a class type society. All he was saying was the workiing class did most of the living and dying in that society. So treat them like the heros they are. BTW I drove garbage truck for a living. So I know about working too.
Lennon grew up in a nice area of Liverpool and wasn't brought up in poverty like much of the city at that time. He was what is deemed in British society, middle class. His rebellious nature was born out of the family dynamic he was raised in rather than a struggle to escape from any working class background. Ringo grew up in Toxteth. Now that is a genuine working class and tough part of Liverpool. But they all helped put Liverpool on the map and even today there's people in employment because of the Beatles, others that make a living in music because of their influence etc. So in a strange round about way, Lennon did become a working class hero.
"When they tortured and scared you for 20 odd years and then they expect you to pick a career" A coworker just told me that they spliced this part in there. John Lennon forgot to sing this part in the original take. If you listen closely, you can tell that he is playing a different guitar. Pretty cool. Doesn't hurt the song in anyway.
He was true to himself are you fucking stupid, he dumped his wife and kid and his working class background to fly off to New York to play god with princess Yoko with a $100 million in the bank to sell records to mugs like you saying how unhappy he was. Getting shot was the best thing to happen to his record sales because he was well past his sell by date by than
@@kanjjn I don't see any anger in Davids comment, just worry, empathy and love. Maybe he is far more awake than you. You a mask wearer and a vaxxer right and now you support Ykrain and believe in climate change. Check the mirror!
Alternatively, a working class zero is nothing to be. There's room at the top, but first you must learn how to lie, cheat and steal. If you want to be like the schmucks on the hill.
Many of my generation warned you George Carlin, John Lennon - oh God I could just go on and on. It just brings me to tears. Please stand up and take back your freedom - yet you don't know what real freedom is cuz you've never experienced it but believe me it's better than this. Live simply So Others May simply live blessings
That line gripped me, did I go wrong not stepping on others to be successful, NO... I would sooner be poor, than feeling guilty, I av nothing but all that money cant buy.. Reflection... Am a rich man with no money, money ruins me, stay humble, learn humble, be humble
The line about keeping us doped with sex and tv.......even back then it was happening and I think maybe there were like 3 channels and no internet. We're proper screwed now.
@@nitaistrange112same. And I can't imagine just three channels :0. 200+ was always in my head when I was channel surfing on the television and I would remember the numbers and whoch channel it associated with. For instance 41 was Animal Planet, 42 Nickelodeon, and 43 ABC Family (then turned to Freeform). Honestly I wish I knew what it was like to just have three channels and a motivation to go outside, which I still had when the television was big.
One of the best songs he ever wrote. John was high intelligent and backboned and was a hero himself. He never kneeled the system as he experienced during the time he was bought by the disgusting music industry what they are capable of. Replacing his best friend Paul as he died in 1966 and betraying people further. This was the reason he left the Beatles later on Gob bless him!
This is so right , and the saddest bit is it will remain true of all the following generations . There will never be room at the top for anyone that went to wrong school .
The question is: why would you want to be at the top in a system like this? This crap will still be happening as long as people keep joining the rat race on their own will.
The realest song ever so relatable i he a teacher that didn’t like me for being clever or when I’d mess up it really did drive me crazy schools can be the worst thing on earth
We’re just working class hero’s that are just SOMETHING TO BEE🐝 🚌 ⚠️ 🪧 Black and yellow, black and yellow. Yellow and black? Obey the Queen System and bee hive yourself….. Obey!!!!!!⚠️
Plus I will increase revenue, because the jobs that I held after that hellstorm at Costco 563. They followed me in to defame and torture me. It’s a win for the company and me!
I can absolutely relate to John's lyrics. It's almost like he took them right out of my mouth. Although he became very rich, John Lennon must have felt like this as a teenager, because that's what it feels like to be molded by this capitalistic society. Practically everything that is produced in this world is for $profit$. I wish we could have better reasons for creating and building things, things that were built to solve real problems on this planet.
Why not try to work your way up to that position, and then be a part of the change by treating your workers with respect and paying them a living wage?
He's singing to YOU, then! "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 the folks on the hill!"
Lennon was probably one of the first celebrities on the autism spectrum, and I think this song is about living with autism, I wish he was still here, I’d trade cardi b for John Lennon any day
The song is about the damaging effects of Capitalism, the working class are the ones making the money, aka the heroes. Though it could be interpreted different ways, I believe it's about the pounding we get since birth, from our parents, to society, to the system, just beating after beating.

Music industry promotes "Imagine".
This is the real masterpiece of Lenon's songs
I am juste à pour man Guy,don t worry🐹
Yep
Yep
Imagine is a more radical song than Working Class Hero, it's Marx to music! ❤
It's nice to hear his angry side from time to time. he's so fu**ing deep. if only he stayed in the UK. John Lennon is something to be.
“Til you’re so f*cking crazy, you can’t follow their rules...”
Struck a real chord with me.

TOO real and TOO close to home!
This song is so relevant today john lennon is a genius

Didn't know he actually had "fucking" as a lyric. Was probably very controversial at the time.
@Alessandro Martina Were they fuck
I'm going to work bow
Marilyn Manson did a cover of this song. I like his voice better.
Lennon was awake, and he just tried to tell people as well..well this is even more relevant today!
Can you elaborate please?
That's why they assassinated him.
@@tdog1656 Yes, I’d like that too.

Amazing talent John Lennon , give me the chills , every word so true
I am glad that someone agrees with me
@@paulrobinson4795 Me too! This song is TOO real!
The meaning becomes clear when one is finally awake to the truth of reality and what the system really is.
that’s why he was assassinated. they always change the history. he moved millions of people and was a danger for rulers of this plane of existence.
It gets worse when you get a level or two past that initial awakening.
TOO real!

Powerful timeless classic.

Yes I can hear that
Such a great song. Lennon had such insight on issues.
The song was about someone who doesn't falling into a trap and who is true to himself and his roots
Well then this song is not for me then
He was true to himself are you fucking stupid, he dumped his wife and kid and his working class background to fly off to New York to play god with princess Yoko with a $100 million in the bank to sell records to mugs like you saying how unhappy he was.

Well said sir.
People have been brainwashed into thinking that freedom means 'having more stuff' and showing it off...
His best song. Should be sung at all ´leftist´ (European) conferences.
This song helped me sleep. Thank you John Lennon! Rock on!
“There’s room at the top they are telling you still, but first you need to learn how to smile as you kill”….so true and deep ✊🏻

There are lots of mistakes in these lyrics. For exampled, it's "keep you doped" (past participle).
Another: "they hate you if you're clever" -- note that it's "you're", not "your". Sheesh.
This song it's about workers not teachers. You must understand it with your heart, only.
They wonder why the "war on drugs"NEVER works
they started a war on themselves
An anthem to this crazy World
