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 al 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
