🎶 Working Class Hero song analysis

The song is about the struggles and difficulties faced by the working class. The protagonist feels small and insignificant from a young age, and is hurt both at home and at school. After years of torture and abuse, the working class is expected to choose a career despite being scared and unable to function properly. The song also discusses how religion, sex, and television are used to distract the working class and keep them in the dark. The chorus repeats that a working class hero is something to be, and at the end John Lennon urges his listeners to follow him if they want to be heroes.

Green Day is a highly influential rock band that formed in California in 1987 as a power trio consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and John Kiffmeyer, before Tré Cool replaced Kiffmeyer in 1990. The band was originally called Sweet Children and was part of the Bay Area punk scene, releasing its first songs on Lookout! Records.
