	Story Behind the Song This song comes from people's desire for recognition, our preoccupation with fame, and how far we will go to get both. Lyrics 1 It was the winter of '99 The last time I saw your face You were filled up with dreams from magazines You were pointing to the posters At the Fairmount Hotel Said, "I'll be up there someday Looking like Marilyn Monroe" Chorus Everybody wants to be a somebody Nobody wants to be a nobody Everybody wants to be a somebody Nobody wants to be a nobody 2 You made it down South in a Chevy With an angel on the dash Listening to the radio Looking for Johnny Cash There were boys on every corner And girls with yellow hair All dreaming of celebrity And wanting a bigger share Chorus C Section You lived for big headlines On the local TV news But fifteen famous minutes Wasn't enough for you So, you begged and you gambled To be on the screen When did you realize There was so much more to be seen? 3 I read the news today oh boy About a lucky girl who became a star Her name you may not recognize But if you want proof of stardom Look out into the night Chorus (x2)
