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 holdin´you
you hold your first up high,
and rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
up high where the whole world´s watchin 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
You say you don´t wanna starve
or take the table crumbsthat 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 watchin´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 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 gonna be somebody
i gonna be somebody
