THE WORKING CLASS HERO
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Til 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've hurt you at home, and they've hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Til you're so fukkin 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 some 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, sex and tv
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fukkin' peasants as far as I can see...
Its all about being.
The working class hero has no idea that he is a hero. Has no desire of being a hero. Actions are not taken for the purposes of being recognized as a hero. Certainly, a working class hero is recognized by others, but the hero does not recognize himself as such.
He does only what he feels he needs to do.
Not wanting or seeking recognition, the working class hero does what he does out of necessity, with a matured integrity. The desire to be a hero does not enter the picture or play a part in his ‘hero-ness.’ Its all about being, and not so much about having things or doing things.
For the working class hero, the goal does not justify the means, but rather the goal is the means - how well does one take the situations that continually arise for one's self.
What is necessary determines what action(s) is to be taken. What is necessary is not a goal to be achieved in some future. What is necessary does not arise out of desire. Needs arise out of what is happening right now, in 'this' very moment.
How one responds to acquiring what is needed in each situation as it arises, determines hero-ness, or cowardice . And once again, being a ‘hero’ is not a goal that is to be achieved. Being a hero is determined by how well one is connected to one's own being-ness. It will be seen by others. Others may recognize him as being a hero. But to the hero there is no hero, or that EVERYONE is a hero.
