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 classless 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

I love that song.

I'd have to put Jeff Buckely on this list - I love Jeff ("Grace" is one of my all-time favorite albums), but some of his songs could push your average music listener into deep depression. Ones that are especially dour include; "Lover You Should've Come Over", "Mojo Pin", and Drown in My Own Tears"

Got about 7 versions of that song, but aside from the original, I like Marianne Faithful's version.

Anyhoo My vote goes for Coldplay and Radiohead.If your not depressed to start with, listen to these two morbid,whiny c*nts and you'll be wanting to euthanase yourself in no time.

any time somebody mentions the name dashboard confessional it makes me depressed. just because i cant believe people like that bull honkey.

Haha.
Dashboard are pretty depressing.
I was playing Enter Shikari at school once (check them out www.myspace.com/entershikari) & some girl was like 'raarrr this is SO depressing' so she goes and puts on dashboard. Which makes no sense. at.all.
Anyways.
:]

Dashboard aren't depressing at all, more like pathetic.

i totally agree with that.
