You say you don't want to 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 fist 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 want to be somebody, Be somebody soon I want to be somebody Be somebody too
You say you don't want to starve Or take the table crumbs that fall You don't want to 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 want to be somebody, Be somebody soon I want to 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 want to be somebody, Be somebody soon I want to be somebody Be somebody too
