Be Somebody

You don't have to be yourself, just be somebody

Don't curl up in the corner and start sleeping at life's party

You don't have to live a long, long, time

Just long enough to pay for each and every crime

You don't have to be yourself, just be somebody

I once knew a man named Thomas D

When I was growing up, he used to play with me

He used to tell me that winning wasn't everything, but then again

He'd say, Losing is nothing but pain and suffering

And the ones you love never seem to have enough things

Then he'd repeat his mantra over and over again
