Everybody Knows My Name

Everybody knows my name

Everybody wants the fame

Everybody wants to see

Everybody wants a piece of me

Everybody wants the fun

Everybody sees the gun

Everybody be so kind

Still got my piece of mind

Everybody knows my name

Everybody can you feel my pain

I was born a poor boy

Left home when i was four

Momma never named me so i was never for sure

I learned to read enough to know life wasn't so kind

All i own is my guitar and my piece of mind

[chorus]

Everybody knows my name

Everybody play the game

Everybody wants the fame

Everybody knows my name

I went out into the world to find my place in life

I'm learning more, everyday surving really bites

They ask me for a line of coke, needles, knives and guns

I said to myself i think i found a home cause this place sounds like fun

I've seen holyrollers, midnight strollers, cops shake with fear

I've seen high heels clickin, red lipstick, blood, sweat and tears

I've read about a man who died for everybody's sins

If you want to make a change you got to put your faith in him

I've seen the limelight in new york city

I've seen the rainbow in hollywood

I've walked the streets of london england

The streets of gold look so good

I've voted for their politions

I've seen all the dirty religions

I wore their three piece suits

But i did not wear their army boots

I didn't fire the guns of war

Never knew what we were fighting for

Everybody wants the fame

Everybody knows my name
