When John sings: 'They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool' it can be applied to todays measure - since teachers and parents both hit you with sarcastic comments and the weight of the world comes slamming down onto your shoulders at a young age. I find the original much more biting than the new Green day cover. Wake up PEOPLE | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/09 John Lennon Was way ahead of our time. Its as if he was a soothsayer of sorts. I remember when he was shot. What was it 6 shots? With Yoko standing next to him? It was clearly a hit or assassin. I also remember when the Feds tried to deport him. He in his LYRICS was sending and telling us a message for today. Look around you, at the headlines and at yourself and tell me that this is what we are and what John wrote about. Were all fucking peasants as far as he could see. Calm down | Reviewer: J.C | 12/12/07 I hate coming to see reviews on a good video or good lyrics when all I see is hate. Stop insulting everybody, read the lyrics as you listen to the song, and if you have something interesting to say, we'll be happy to read it :) my view | Reviewer: Olivia | 11/22/07 no age can determine wether you can interperate a song. to every person, there is a different message. no one can be wrong or right when interpreting a song because no matter how much you argue, the meaning of a song is at the hands of your own personal imagination and interpretation. i am 15 and if you think that that means i cant get a message from this song then i think maybe you should go take a look at yourself mate. absolute joke. haha smile. A little restraint | Reviewer: Shmore | 10/6/07 Apparently restraint is something that is learned with age. I believe DJ was speaking more of maturity then of a set age. And I can almost be sure that his comment wasn't intended to discourage younger folks from the song or the message. Peoples Bullshit | Reviewer: Joanna N. | 10/2/07 To whoever said that people under 20 wouldint understand this song is a fucking uneducated bastard! You think this song is amazing when just what you said contradicts the whole point of this song! You DON'T have to be 20 to understand that the government is a sham and and people live their lives following willed ignorance so fucking blindly that they become business men assholes that John Lennon is taking about. I'm 17 and I'm fully fucking aware how much money means to the world, and what people will do to get it. Get your facts straight before you make stupid comments that only apply to stupid fucking pricks like you, how can you look up to someone or their point of view when you CLEARLY have no clue what it means. Sarcastic Lennon | Reviewer: DJ | 8/24/07 This song is simply amazing. I love John's Sarcasm " A Working Class Hero is something to be" what a slap in the face to governemnt/big business. Its not until your a little bit older(midtolate 20's) until you understand this song. Kids wouldnt grasp the concept. this "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 peasants as far as I can see" blows my mind! Green Day's Cover Has Its Own Merrits but I Still Like The Original | Reviewer: Celeste | 8/8/07 I honestly thought that John's version of this song is a little bit better than the cover but then again I just might be a little bit partial to the original. Working class hero | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/31/07 I first heard the Green Day cover. Its strong, but John's originial carries weight!! Re: A Lifelong Classic Gets New Audience | Reviewer: Aaron | 6/9/07 I find it sad how apathetic young people are nowadays. How dissapointing how your son's girlfriend showed no interest when you explained the song to her. I find the meanings and origins of songs fascinating. The irony of that is I'm 14. How old was she?
