Originally performed by W.A.S.P.
You say you don`t want to run and hide
A face that no one knows
And everyone you meet
You`re going to show
You`re nobody`s slave
Nobody`s chains are holding you
You hold your fist up high
And pride too
Oh, you`ve just go to be
Up high where the
Whole world is watching you and me
Cause I...
I`ve got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out
I want to be somebody
Be somebody soon
You say you don`t want to starve
Well, take the table crumbs and go!
You don`t want to take your feed at all?
You don`t want no 9 to 5 job
Fingers to the bone
You don`t want the rock piles dirty
Go! Oh, you`ve just got to be...
Up high where the whole world`s
Watching you and me
Cause I...
I`ve got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out
I want to be somebody
Be somebody soon
I want shiny pots
And dirty
And lots of rock and roll
I will live in vain
And die in flames
I`m never getting old
