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
