Livin' in the city, nobody said it would be easy Seven million lonely souls It's a sweet shame it's a pity when you realize those city lights ain't pretty The streets ain't paved with gold 'Cause you want to be somebody, I want to be somebody Let's knock the door they gotta let us in, yeah I got my fingers on the handle, got another angle Get your aces up your sleeve, lets go gamblin' Every winner is a villain Every loser is a hero Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues And dance like it's year zero When the front-runners lose their riders and the ten-to-one outsiders Hold the, the future in their hands Let's fool the poker-faced pretenders and the casino-cool contenders Grab the chips and put the booty in the bag When every winner is a villain Every loser is a hero Put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues And dance like it's year zero You want to be somebody I want to be somebody Let's knock the door they gotta let us in They gotta let us in Every winner is a villain Every loser is a hero Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues And dance like it's year zero Every winner is a villain Every loser is a hero Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues And dance like it's year zero
