It isn’t fair, John Sinclair
In the stair of breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair?
In the stair of breathing air
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me.
They give him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta.....gotta, set him free.
If he had been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breathing air, like you and me
They gave me ten for two
What more can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta....gottta set him freee.
Was he jailed for what he done?
Representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
From the clutches off the man
Let him free, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids.
They gave me ten for two
What more can the bastards do?
Gotta, gotta...gotta set him free...
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...
Do something about it
We make her paint her
face and dance
If she won't be slave,
We say that she don't love us
If she's real,
We say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down
We pretend that she is above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me
Take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise
our children
And then we leave her flat for
being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only
place she would be
Then we complain that she's
too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me take a
look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no
guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her
will to be free
While telling her not to be so
smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me take a
look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me,
you better scream about it.
We make her paint her
face and dance
We make her paint her
face and dance We make her paint her
face and dance
You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You aren’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
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
Working Class Hero is something to be
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 despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion, 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
There's room at the top I'm 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Yes, 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
