Famous Somewhere

Nobody knows me from Adam
That's what I've been told
Since back in the first grade
When I was 6 years old

I'm sick of being nobody
It's too much to bear
I'm tired of being faceless
I must be Famous Somewhere

I must be Famous Somewhere
I'm going to Asia
I'll try Indonesia
Somewhere in Bolivia

I must be Famous Somewhere
I'm going to the Yukon
I'll try Sweden
Somewhere in the Ukraine

No one gives me the time of day
They won't buy me a beer
Ain't been kissed in a coon's age
Haven't had a date in years

I'm sick of being John Doe
Just someone in the crowd
Such a drag that I'm unknown
Gonna scream my name out loud

I must be Famous Somewhere
I'm going to China
I'll try Australia
Somewhere in Chile

I must be Famous Somewhere
I'm going to Iceland
I'll try Tahiti
Somewhere in Greenland

Bridge..
It's all about being famous and rich
Not being a number, anonymous
Got to be somebody who gives a damn
Got to be somebody knows who I am

First chorus

Living anonymously is obviously something you don't enjoy, but it has a great amount of sarcasm, I think.
Q: are u really THAT unhappy, Jim? I hope not.
Being rich and famous is a dangerous lifestyle. Ask Billie Holiday or Brian Jones (Stones) and so many others.
I myself have only lived on the fringe of all that. I live in the bufferzone, so to say,lol
Well written! Thanks.

Good lyric.
