All, all in the name of being somebody
(One, two, three four, what? Huh!)You can tell me anything, something wrong or right
Just pick me up and get me out of here, while I've still got an appetite
Tell me something funny, so good I want to hear it twice
Just fill me up with rhythm and a beat, and take me into the nightCause I don't get to sleep these days
(No I never sleep)
Even when I do behave
(Oh I never behave)
No cigarettes but in my own little way
I push to the limit of the night and dayAnd all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
Seems we don't know anything about walking in a straight line
Wave and weave through all these streets, till choice has left us almost blind
To how we used to make decisions with instinct and with time
Now if I blink I miss the only second I get to catch another's eyeSo I don't get to sleep these days
Cause no one's got the time to waste
We call it being young and say
That it's fun when we really wanna walk awayBut it's all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares aboutAll, all in the name
(All in the name, all in the name
All in the name, all in the name)
All, all in the name
(All in the name, all in the name
All in the name, all in the name)
I'll Tell you something funny
I never found, one thing, nobody in the crowd
Who could turn me on like I wish they would
But keep on pushing just in case they couldIt's all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
