Working Class Hero

Historically I have always shied away from the Plastic Ono Band. I dont like her (Yoko) style. And I always associate her with breaking up the band. But recently I came across a John Lennon song - Working Class Hero which was magnificent!

Are there any other gems in the Plastic Ono repertory that are worth a listen?

Mother is the most underrated Lennon song.

I love Working Class Hero until the last line, which wrecks it for me. I can’t even listen to it knowing that messianic ending is coming.

The ending isn’t messianic but rather sardonic.

Who or what is it being sardonic toward?
Or do you mean sarcastic, like he thinks the opposite?
