WORKING CLASS HERO. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (official music video HD)

The comments of this masterpiece warm my heart. It’s good to know that other people out there think the same as I do, especially such great legends like John Lennon, who never sold out to anyone and recognised the working class as amazing people. I believe that’s why he was murdered. To those suffering today because of the crappy society today, you are not alone!

it's crazy how songs like working class hero and imagine are so popular and loved when they have so much communist ideology but the same people who listen and love these songs will freak out once they hear the word communism. 2023 and we are indeed peasants still.

I had a friend in the navy, Joe Vallone, we both loved this song, but he did so much that, after much practice, worked it out on guitar until he could play it well, even though he could play no other songs. That's obsession...

‘Everything will be ok in the end, If it’s not ok, it’s not the end’ - John Lennon

Happy Birthday !!!! Still sadly missed ...

The fact Lennons solo career wasn't recieved the way it should have says more about western political media than it does about his oneoffability. Wow John, just wow.

Cirmpre lloran mis ojos con esta cancion por que yo podria ser ese Nino y lo soy . Soy el. Mismo sentimiento que Jhon lenon puso en todo esto . .

Have a beer and let me sing you a sad song of how bad the world is......

No thanks. It's easy to see the world is messed up.
It's hard to find the way out.

I found the way out (rather the way out found me) and it was not following John.
He did not know where he was going. He did not have the answers.
He got rich and could do as he pleased while the rest of us put in the hours to live.

He was unfaithful as a husband, a terrible father and a foul mouthed fornicator.
Sing his praises if you will but he was no role model for me.

I was a teenager during the 60s when the Beatles rose to fame. I enjoyed their music and thought they were cool. Somehow I survived the madness of those years and in the 70s the answer found me. He said to me - Follow Me. I am the way, the Truth and the Life.

Ca ressemble a du Dylan, mais John chante beaucoup mieux😂😂😂😂, j'adore

despite john's upwardly aspirant upbringing, he manages to bring a blood curdling authenticity to this dark moment.

Poesía de primera en una canción

There's a reason Ben Shapiro went after Imagine instead of this.

Always been a fan of Lennon's work even from a young age, but this song especially struck a chord with me as a teen, they hurt you at home and hit you at school, they hate if you're clever and despise a fool, till your so fuckin crazy you can't follow their rules

This is why he's dead we are all going on the same box .we should love one and other.❤

"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."
OUCH.

Yes, yes, yes and yes

This videos a bit sick, why do you need to references to his murderer. Bullshit

Then some guy with no respect for your life decides to shoot you dead in front of your wife then the sick society still wants to blame her for your demise because they are all addicted to lies...

Stolen by Dylan "master of war".

Nothis best song thats for sure

I'm listening to this but thinking of Roger Waters. He is blunt , real and raw when writing those socio politics of his

I bought a compact Imagine/Working Class Hero when I was 11 yo. Imagine had a defeat. Envy? I don't know. Working Class Hero was perfect.

WCH always put on the record player by my old man around 2am as the family parties drew to a close. Usually at full volume, now I understand & I always think of him when I hear it played ( which is not often enough) Class song, by my all time hero.

❤

My uncle told me to this song a day before he dies. I will always be a working class hero Ivan. Always

A beautiful peace that will stand the test of time forever. Truly beautiful

What happened to this new generation of musicians that have prostituted their souls ! Here is an example of what a true artist is all about. Making his craft to express his soul and imagination to help humanity be freer from the shackles of ignorance!

Did he write it? If you watch the interview where he's asked about it, he doesn't seem to be able to articulate what it's about. Not the reaction I had expected. But then perhaps he just avoided answering because he wanted people to think it out for themselves. Still, he delivers a haunting song that encapsulates all thats wrong with modern individualistic society. I read on a gravestone once a saying that went. "Remember man as you pass by, as you are now so once was I. As I am now soon you will be, so be prepared to follow me".
Under this some comedian had written, "To follow you I'd be content but heaven knows which way you went".

The Good Honest Hard Working Man : A Soliloquy
All through life, some people are going to do whatever it takes to tear you down.
It isn't because they don't like you personally, they don't like anyone.
They do this because this is the only way they know how to succeed.
The concept of a good honest hard working man is lost on them, they have no skill to fix things, they would rather tattle, and complain behind your back, all while greeting you with a smile whenever they see you, because they know they are caught in a lie, and that is all their life is built on.
A miserable lie they lack the ability to escape from.
The good honest hard working man, will fix things, he will never complain too much, he might tell you of his troubles, but he will ultimately work to fix them and stay silent.
Successful people will take advantage of a good honest hard working man, because they know he would never lower himself to the level of someone that would do otherwise.
The good honest hard working man will lift his co-workers up, even though he knows deep down it will be glossed over by workplace politics and gossip.
The good honest hard working man will do his best to do a good job, even though he may hate his job, and admit when he makes mistakes, but he would never use the mistakes of others as a cudgel against them.
The good honest hard working man is never rewarded, he is only taken advantage of, but he keeps moving forward in the hopes that one day, the good honest hard working man will be rewarded.
Because the good honest hard working man cares about people, he understands your troubles, he will always listen, and he will always be there.
Until he is ultimately defeated by the malice in people around him, and the good honest hard working man is lost.
- The Good Honest Hard Working Man

John said in an interview that tv was dangerous and he monitored Sean’s viewing. If he could see the internet now.

And some how shit like "Flowers" has more views.

I love this song, along with almost all of his other work. But just for a little context, the first car John Lennon owned was a Ferrari.

Cool song.
They who?

Working class song written by Rich, million air rockstar. What a fake John Lennon was.
Oliver Anthony’s rich men north of Richmond is the real deal!

How am I 46 years old and just hearing this song now? This hits me so hard

Oliver Anthony writes a present-day version of this song and it gets panned, as a right-wing reaction. Lennon also got called a Commie and a left-wing softie. How come every time someone held a mirror to society's degeneracy, they get branded far off center...

Hey,he's smart

John’s a nob don’t hang around with him he’s an idiot

This and dylans "it's alright ma" pure class

God by John Lennon

If you guys like this song, just wait until you read Marx!

Love an insightful artist ❤

Great song with lots of truth within.

Thank you jonhn

Love john lennons chip on his shoulder attitude

It s so good I wish I could see John Lennon I am just 8 but 😍 ❤
