Livin' in the city, nobody said it would be easy Seven million lonely souls It's a sweet shame, it's a pity When you realize those city lights been pretty The streets ain't paved with gold You wanna be somebody, I wanna be somebody Let's knock the door, they got less in it I got my little dreamers on a handle Got another angle Get your aces up your sleeve, let's go gamblin' Every winner is a wheeler Every loser is a heel Put on two set of shoes and lose your blues Dance like it's his heel When the front runners lose their riders On a ten to one outsiders Hold the future in their hands Let's do a poker face pretenders And a casino cool contenders Grab the chips and put the booty in the bag Every winner is a wheeler Every loser is a heel Put on two set of shoes and lose your blues Dance like it's his heel You wanna be somebody, I wanna be somebody Let's knock the door, they got less in it Every winner is a wheeler Every loser is a heel Put on two set of shoes and lose your blues Dance like it's his heel Every winner is a wheeler Every loser is a heel Put on two set of shoes and lose your blues Dance like it's his heel Gonna be out of your fucking mind!
