You say you don’t wanna run and hide

A face that no one know

You’re nobody slave, nobody’s chains are holdin 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

Cos 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.

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

Cos 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 wants shiny cars and dirty money

Lotsa rock and roll

I will live in fame and die in flames

I’m never gettin old.

I wanna be somebody

Be somebody soon

I wanna be somebody

Be somebody too.

I’m gonna be somebody...
