I Wanna Be Somebody Lyrics - Singles - Gates Of Ishtar

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
