Be Somebody Song Lyrics

Joker Johnny
Was a lie teller
'Cause he thought somebody
Might like him better

So he built it up and built it up
'Til it all fell down
But he never thought the bitter truth
Was gonna find him out

He did it all
To impress someone else
When all he had to do
Was stop and be himself

Oh, everybody
Wants to be somebody
Oh yes, it's true
No telling what
Some people will do

Oh, nobody
Wants to be a nobody
'Cause it's a far more bitter fame
To go through this life
Carrying the weight

When they shoot somebody
For the clothes they wear
And they'll advertise it
Like it's ordinary
