I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
Oh, you just got to be
Lots of rock n' roll
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Oh, you just got to be
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
You hold your fist up high and rule the zoo
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
To cry out
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
You say you don't wanna starve or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't want the rock piles bloody stones
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
To cry out
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never gettin' old
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
I want shiny cars and dirty money
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
You don't want no nine to five, your fingers to the bone
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
