Working Class Hero

John Lennon, Composer

... songs to live by ...




John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

I actually prefer Marianne Faithfull's version of this song. I know, I know...I'm a heathen.

Her version is a great one. David Bowie also did a fine job with the song. I'm just a Lennon freak.

I like all three versions, but John Lennon's feels so "soulful"(as always!)
