Here are some lyrics from the booklet that came with the Japanese First Blood... Last Visions tape. For those of you not familiar with Japanese releases, let me fill you in with a little information. For some reason, they always come with lyrics in English. This is fine when the US release has a lyric sheet, but becomes comical when it does not, because the Japanese record company then has to have someone listen to the album and try to decipher the lyrics, often to hilarious results. Since there is no lyric sheet provided for the first WASP album, the lyrics on FB...LV for those songs are mostly wrong. Here are some examples:
I WANNA BE SOMEBODY
(Lawless)
You say you don't want to run and hide
A face that no one knows
And everyone you meet
You're going to show
You're nobody's slave
Nobody's chains are holding you
You hold your fist up high
And pride too
Oh, you've just got to be
Up high where the
Whole world is watching you and me
Cause I...
I've got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out
I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
You say you don't wanna starve
Well, take the table crumbs and go!
You don't want to take your feed at all?
You don't want no nine to five job
Fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles dirty
Go!
Oh, you've just got to be
Up high where the
Whole world is watching you and me
Cause I...
I've got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out
I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I want shiny pots
And dirty (?)
And lots of rock and roll
I will live in vain
And die in flames
I'm never getting old
