What i think this song mean's is that your parents (well, some parents) and teachers, governments, etc make you go to school to learn the things they want you too, so you can grow up to be just like them, so we can keep the system going, cause oh no we wouldn't want change would we, and they fill you with so much fear making you think your life won't be happy or full in some way, that you follow everything they say, without questioning them.
"You think you're so clever and classless and free,
but you're still fucking peasants as far as i can see"
is simply saying that you live your whole life being told your something your not, being told to BE something your not, that that you forgot what you once were, and who you were.
Lennon was right in saying all of this. But as right as he was, you have to let people make their own choices in life, even if their choice is to be like "All the folks on the hill" The main thing we need to do is to make people aware of what is happening with capitalism and oppression, etc , so they actually have a choice, and not just let them be brainwashed into a working class life.
People need to see that there is more to life than possessions and wealth, and they need to speak up for what they believe in and not just go along with the crowd, because the government has them living in fear.
that's basically all i wanted to say, please comment/correct anything i may have said! let me know your fucking opinions!!!!

Make true love, peace, harmony, co-exsist, be a hero and stand up for these things
and pay the personal price in this life to stand for these things that you do take
with you into the next life.

John may have been seen as an Atheist, but iriornically his message had similarities to
that of Jesus Christ.

I think John's beef, rightly so was against the hypocracies of most
Organized Religons. What men control where there is money and power likley has greed and corruption hiding in its shadows. Read up on organized religon history, the
facts are there. But don't confuse the religion/philosophy with many of the church
management ("Beware of false phropets").

I couldn't have said it better than you did. Especially the last sentences about the folks on the hill (the clever bankers and politicians) are my favorite. You are right, if people choose to be like that, they have every right to. But we should not be taught (me as an young woman) that is the only way to live.
I think this song is really critical about being an working class hero. But.. I hear some pity and also compassion in John's voice. It's like he fully understands why some become a working class hero; all the pain, influences and...
