I Wanna Be Somebody (Live) Songtext / Lyric

You say you don't wanna run and hide

A face that no-one knows

And everyone ya 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 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 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

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,

I'm gonna be somebody
