I Wanna Be Somebody

You say you don't wanna run and hide

A face that no one knows

And 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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

Lots of 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 wanna be somebody, be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

I'm gonna be somebody

I'm gonna be somebody
