Be Someone

He was the surf god when he was 18.
Everyday at the beach.
He’s 34 now and still seen,
As the surf god, and that’s all he’s achieved.

But in this small town by the sea,
It doesn’t take much to be somebody.
And I just want to flea.
Go somewhere I can give my life meaning.
Where I can achieve something.
Where I can be somebody.

I don’t want to be like the masses.
Going to work everyday or attending classes.
I like to think I make a difference.
And when I die, the whole world ends.

But in this small town by the sea,
It doesn’t take much to be somebody.
And I just want to flea.
Go somewhere I can give my life meaning.
Where I can achieve something.
Where I can be somebody.
