Green Day - Working Class Hero
На песню "Working Class Hero" Джона Леннона рок-группа "Green Day" записала свою кавер-версию и видео. Сделали это специально для кампании "Make some noise", проводимой международной правозащитной организацией Amnesty International по ликвидации последствий геноцида, войны и гуманитарной катастрофы в Дарфуре.
Снимать видеоклип группа пригласила легендарного клипмейкера Сэма Байера, работавшего с «Nirvana», Джастином Тимберлейком и т.д. Помимо музыкантов «Green Day» в видеоклипе участвуют несколько человек, пострадавших в результате вооружённого конфликта в Дарфуре. Они рассказывают об ужасах, обрушившихся на их родину. Съемки глубоко тронули Сэма Байера. В последнем интервью журналу "Entertainment Weekly" он сообщил: "Думаю, это будет мой последний музыкальный клип. Почему? Просто невозможно вернуться к исходной точке и снимать клипы после этого".
Green Day - Working Class Hero
Working Class Hero - John Lennon
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
