Be Somebody
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
They got territories
So they stand their ground
But what they don't know is
What comes around
It comes right back around
What they really wanted
Is to be accepted
To find out in the end
That the streets are self-corrected
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
Far more worse than dying
Is living with a soul
That's laden with the consequence
Of all the happiness you stole
Sometimes a guilty conscience
And carrying the pain
Is harder than a bullet to the brain, ooh
Ohh, everybody
Wants to be a somebody
Oh yes, it's true
No telling what
Some people will do, oh
Oh, nobody
Wants to be a nobody
'Cause It's a far more bitter fame
To go through this life
Carrying that
Everybody
Wants to be a somebody
Yes, it's true
No telling what
Some people will do
Say, nobody
Wants to be a nobody
'Cause It's a far more bitter fame
To go through life, oh
Always carrying that weight
Always carrying that weight
You gotta let it go, let it go
Listen one more time, I say
Always carrying that weight
Always carrying that weight
Just let it go, you just put it down
Let it, carrying the weight
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

Always carrying that weight
You gotta let it go, let it go
Listen one more time, I say
Always carrying that weight
Always carrying that weight
Just let it go, you just put it down
Let it, carrying the weight
