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
