All in the Name
[Intro]
All, all in the name of being somebody
(One, two, three four, what? Huh!)
[Verse 1: Bright Light Bright Light]
You can tell me anything, something wrong or right
Just pick me up and get me out of here, while I've still got an appetite
Tell me something funny, so good I want to hear it twice
Just fill me up with rhythm and a beat, and take me into the night
[Pre-Chorus 1: Bright Light Bright Light and Elton John]
Cause I don't get to sleep these days
(No I never sleep)
Even when I do behave
(Oh I never behave)
No cigarettes but in my own little way
I push to the limit of the night and day
[Chorus: Bright Light Bright Light]
And all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
[Verse 2: Elton John]
Seems we don't know anything about walking in a straight line
Weave and weave through all these streets, till choice has left us almost blind
To how we used to make decisions with instinct and with time
Now if I blink I miss the only second I get to catch another's eye
[Pre-Chorus 2: Bright Light Bright Light and Elton John]
So I don't go to sleep these days
Cause no one's got the time to waste
We call it being young and say
That it's fun when we really wanna walk away
[Chorus: Bright Light Bright Light]
But it's all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
[Bridge: Bright Light Bright Light]
All, all in the name
(All in the name, all in the name
All in the name, all in the name)
All, all in the name
(All in the name, all in the name
All in the name, all in the name)
I'll Tell you something funny
I never found, one thing, nobody in the crowd
Who could turn me on like I wish they would
But keep on pushing just in case they could
[Chorus: Bright Light Bright Light]
It's all, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
All, all in the name of being somebody
That somebody cares about
