I Wanna Be Somebody

(Album: W.A.S.P. (a.k.a. Winged Assassins, a.k.a. I Wanna Be Somebody) - 1984)

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 holding you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watching me

Cos 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 watching me
Cos 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
Lots of rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never getting 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
