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

I gonna be somebody
I gonna be somebody
