Beatle's John Lennon speaks against the bourgeois society, etc.
TA: What did you think was the reason for the success of your sort of music?
JL: Well, at the time it was thought that the workers had broken
through, but I realise in retrospect that it’s the same phoney deal they gave the blacks, it was just like they allowed blacks to be runners or
boxers or entertainers. That’s the choice they allow you – now the
outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I’m saying on the album
in ‘Working class hero’.

The lyrics to Working Class Hero by John Lennon.
TAGA-ILOG News
"...As I told Rolling Stone, it’s the same people who have the power, the class system didn’t change one little bit.
"Of course, there are a lot of people walking around with long hair now and some trendy middle class kids in pretty clothes.... But nothing changed except that we all dressed up a bit, leaving the same bastards running everything."
