It seems the world has turned its back against menIn everything I try and donMy dreams and hopes are always quashed I'm feelingnOut of date and overduennI'm on a never ending path to glorynIt's an uphill struggle everydaynAll day, a way I'm trying to findnThat's what I'm looking fornThe key to open my life's doornnI know I'll be, I wanna be somebody somedaynThey'll look and see, wish that they could reverse their waysnThat star in the sky, so bright one day I'll be singingnAnd laughing passing them bynnFor years my friends would always say you'll never make it big in any waynBut now it's remember me when you're famousnA different tune they seem to playnn(chorus)nnI've been ahead of myslef before ahead of the gamenI don't wanna look stupid so I watch what I saynAnd now I'm closer than I've ever been, I've given everythingnTo take a chance and follow my dreamnn(chorus out)
