Gotta Serve Somebody by Bob Dylan

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes indeed, you're gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Might be a rock an' roll addict prancing on the stage
Might have drugs at your command, women in a cage
You may be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you doctor or they may call you chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes you are, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young turk
May be the head of some bigger TV network
You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame
May be livin' in another country, under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes you are, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)

May be a construction worker working on a home
Might be livin' in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns and you may even own tanks
You may be somebodys landlord, you may even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)

You may be a preacher, preacher, spiritual pride
Might be a city councilman takin' bribes on the side
May be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair
You may be somebodys mistress, may be somebodys heir

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
Might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread
May be sleepin' on the floor, sleepin' in a king sized bed

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Yes indeed, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you may call me Terry or you may call me Timmy
You may call me Bobby or you may call me Zimmy
You may call me RJ, you may call me Ray
You may call me anything, no matter what you say

Still gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil and it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
