Lyrics
One of Them
You know you wanna be like one of them
Cuz they've got it all
Yeah, wouldn't it be neat to be like one of them?
Livin it up, having a ball
Fancy cars, body guards, big cigars and sushi bars
Shoving credit cards in your face
On the silver screen, in magazines, taking limosines
There's no in between.... what a disgrace!
You better think twice..but wouldn't it be nice?
To be like One of Them - to be like One of Them
Like One of Them... Like One of Them - To be like One of Them
So you think you wanna be just like one of them?
But they're not like you
You should just be glad that you're not One of Them
Making the news, one of the "who's who"
Cuz they've got media hounds hanging around
trying to drag them down, spreading rumours around:
"Isn't she with him"?
They leave their kids with their nannies, fly to Miami
Pick up their grammies... it's so uncanny - feels like a sin
You better think twice - Oh but wouldn't it be nice -ooh yeah
(repeat chorus)
Who are they? Who are they? Who are they, anyway?
Everybody wants to be living the dream
But if you're looking for fame you gotta play the game
You gotta roll the dice, you gotta pay the price
So you better think twice
