A million workers working for nothing 百万劳工努力工作却一无所得 You better give them what they really own 他们应当赢回自己的劳动果实 I got to ask you comrades and brothers 另外去问问你的同志和兄弟 How do you treat your own woman back home 回到家中如何对待妇女
列侬还有一首当年传唱很广的歌曲《工人阶级的英雄》(Working Class Hero):
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school 在家里他们伤害你,在学校他们打击你 They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool 他们憎恨聪明的你同时蔑视愚蠢的人 Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules 你不能遵循他们的游戏规则除非你他妈的疯了 A working class hero is something to be 你将成为一个工薪阶层英雄
