| abstract | - When a character or group of characters is shown to be highly intelligent and capable precisely because he didn't do fancy things like go to school or study or stuff, that makes him cool. They did everything on the job. As a result, he has all this great timeless common folk wisdom that solves every problem. This character tends to be disdainful and negative to characters who learn things through books. However, there is a variation of a Working Class Hero who reads book when not in the theory- this character type is more common in socialist and communist literature, which usually works specifically to avert Working Class People Are Morons. Related to Farm Boy. See also Book Dumb. Examples of Working Class Hero include:

The song was subsequently released as a single and has an accompanying video for the track with director Samuel Bayer. The single was released to radio on April 30, 2007 and on iTunes on May 1, 2007. When asked why they chose the song, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said, "We wanted to do 'Working Class Hero' because its themes of alienation, class, and social status really resonated with us. It's such a raw, aggressive song -- just that line: 'you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see' -- we felt we could really sink our teeth into it. I hope we've done him justice." The song wasn't all Green Day, though; the John Lennon version of the last song line, "If you want to be a hero, well just follow me" was included at the end. Green Day performed it live at the American Idol Season 6 finale (dropping the offensive words). In accounts of the show, the Associated Press repeatedly and inaccurately called the song "A Working Class Hero Is Something to Be." Since then, the Green Day cover has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By a Duo/Group w/ Vocals.
