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
