I Wanna Be Somebody

You say you don't wanna run and hide

A face that no one knows

When everyone you meet, you're gonna show

You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holding you

You hold your fist up high and rule the zoo

Why, you just got to be

Up high where the whole world's watching me

'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody

To cry out

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve

Or take the table crumbs that fall

You don't wanna beg or plead at all

You don't want no nine-to-five, your fingers to the bone

You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones

Why, you just got to be

Up high where the whole world's watching me

'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody

To cry out

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I want shiny cars and dirty money, lotsa rock and roll

I will live in fame and die in flames, I'm never getting old

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody
