Story Behind The Song
Written originally as a self-pity song after a musical rejection, I turned this around to be an anthem of self-determination, a mantra of never give up!
Song Description
Uptempo garage rock song a la Dead Posey punctuated with contemporary vocal treatment and harmonies to pull in some riot grrrl never-give-up attitude. Includes heavy percussive track.

Lyrics
V1
Seems I was born under a bad sign
Or in the middle of a ripe tide
I've been knocked down so many times
But I still survived
CH
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I'm gonna' be somebody
'Cause I am somebody
I am somebody
V2
Sometimes I just wanna' cry
'Cause I feel so damned tired
But I swear I'll keep tryin'
Until the day I die
CH
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I'm gonna' be somebody
'Cause I am somebody
I am somebody
Middle 8 Break
CH
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I'm gonna' be somebody
I am nobody
Just like everybody
Trying to be somebody
I'm gonna' be somebody
I'm gonna' be somebody
'Cause I am somebody
'Cause I am somebody
