A CSS class hero

I thought I’d share a web developer’s rendition of Working Class Hero.

As soon as you’re born they make you feel <small>,
By giving you no time to deliver it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all (*whispering* IE….),

A CSS class hero is something to be,
A CSS class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at work and they spam you because you know your tools,
They hate you if you’re clever although they’re really the fools,
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t specify your rules,

A CSS class hero is something to be,
A CSS class hero is something to be.

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to end your career,
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear,

A CSS class hero is something to be,
A CSS class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with DOCTYPES, meta tags and decrees,
And you think you’re so clever and cross-platform and free,
But you’re still a fucking developer as far as they can see,

A CSS class hero is something to be,
A CSS 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 blow Bill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,

A CSS class hero is something to be.
A CSS 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.
