Working Class (Hero)

The very first time I heard this song was from the cover version of David Bowie's Tin Machine project band.
I was blown away by how they played it. I only heard years later (thanks to Youtube), the original version of John Lennon, which sounded more like a Bob Dylan cover because of its folk style playing. But Tin Machine blows it away and turns it up at 11. And I'm back at the chain gang, working in a place, where another leash is on my neck, while another barks orders at my back. Worst part of this is how your own kind would favor the other either of internal politicking or of preference. They say you get pushed down because you let them. So am I letting them? Or I'm too far off my game to know how to play these cruel games anymore.
