⸻ Verse 1 Monday breaks, we’re back in line Boots on concrete, hearts still shine Tools in hand, we push through grey Dreams we carry, come what may Dave and Tommy, same old crew Share a joke and plan the brew When the whistle blows, we breathe Head held high with hope beneath ⸻ Pre-Chorus We are, we are Where steel meets soul We are, we are The ones who dig the coal ⸻ Chorus We’re working class heroes, loud and proud Heroes, heroes, sing it loud! Through rain and fire, we won’t back down Heroes, heroes, lift the sound! With grit and grace, we hold our ground Heroes, heroes, hearts unbound! We’re working class heroes, we wear no crown ⸻ Verse 2 Sarah works the night and day Raising three with no delay Saturday, the laughter flows In stories only hardship knows Old man Bill, still standing tall Says, “The cracks don’t mean you fall” He lights his smoke and says to me, “This pride was earned, not given free” ⸻ Pre-Chorus We are, we are The fire behind the flame We are, we are The ones who built this name ⸻ Chorus We’re working class heroes, side by side Heroes, heroes, swell with pride! We bleed and laugh, and still survive Heroes, heroes, never hide! Our families close, our hearts open wide Heroes, heroes, time and tide! We’re working class heroes, with nothing to hide ⸻ Bridge From Glasgow streets to Camden Town We rise, we fall, but don’t lie down Our fathers laid the cobbled stones Now we defend what we call home ⸻ Final Chorus We’re working class heroes, loud and proud Heroes, heroes, sing it loud! Through fire and frost, we still resound Heroes, heroes, shake the ground! With open hands and hearts unbound Heroes, heroes, stand your ground! We’re working class heroes — we wear no crown ⸻ Outro We wear no crown… Heroes, heroes, sing it loud! But we built this town ⸻
