Song of the Week.

I remember doing these at the GDC but we haven't had one for a long time and I miss it, so discuss this song.

I was listening to it today and I think the part when the band comes in is incredible! :happy:

The Saints Are Coming could be talked about too.

Have a green day, everybody! :)

is this ARBITRARY song of the month?

I guess. I just thought it would be nice to have this thread, b/c I miss when Andres and the mods made these.

If there hasn't been a song of the week, then this can be it. There are no month long discussions of songs kthxbi.

bad mamories with this song :pinch:

Your ava is quite interesting :whistling: I just wanted to let you know!

I really like this song. Don´t care if it´s a cover. Green Day made a great version of it and I love the lyrics! Very deep. Good job, John and Green Day :thumbsup:

You should post a live performance video of it.

as long as I'm concerned, GD did a good job covering the song, but John Lennon's version is better, k? thanks.

And where is the video and lyrics of it? You should stick to SOTW tradition :P

Anyway, I like the cover. That's actually all I can say about it.

Awesome choice, I love that song and they did a freakin' amazing cover. :wub:

I searched for a live performance, but I think, there was only the one from American Idol:

Anyway, here are the lyrics:

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,

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 peasents 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.

As that's the only live performance they've done of it, that's not so weird. Well, there's always the three studio videos that were on the IC. Does anyone still have those?

I really like their cover of this.

I got such shivers from Billie's voice the first time I heard it :)
