SOMEBODY
Writer: Richard Aberdeen ASCAP
Publisher: Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP

Lasarus lies in America's gutter
Can't recall what he went to war for
Our father, my mother, my sister, my brother. . .

I saw my brother stranded on the road
His graveyard face had tombstone eyes
He said, “Can someone help me with my load
Help me see through all these lies?”

Hey, I wanna be somebody
Don't want a life that's just pretend
I wanna be somebody
Someone who matters in the end

I saw my sister in the dark alley
She said “all I ever do is cry
I try so hard, but I just can't be free
Don't understand the reason why”

I wanna be somebody
Don't want a life that's just pretend
I wanna be somebody
Someone who matters in the end
I wanna be somebody
Don't want a life that's only lies
Yeah, I wanna be somebody
Keep your eyes on the prize

Wicked leaders dance to a WWIII tune
With nightmare scenes of laser lights
Oh, but you know, Jesus is comin' back soon
Yeah, he's gonna restore human rights

And wanna be somebody
Don't want a life that's just pretend
I wanna be somebody
Someone who matters in the end
Yeah, I wanna be somebody
Don't want a life that's only lies
Hey, yeah, I wanna be somebody
Keep your eyes on the prize
