Joker johnny was a lie teller
Cause he thought somebody might like him better
So we built it up and built it up till 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
Need far more worse than dying
Is living with a soul that's laden
With a consequence of all the happiness you stole
Sometimes a guilty conscience
And carrying the pain
Is harder than a bullet to the brain
Oh
Oh everybody wants to be a 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 and carry in
That everybody wants to be somebody
Yes it's true
No telling what some people will do
Say nobody wants to be a nobody
Cause it's a firm old bit of 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 and just put it down
Look carrying the weight
