Bob Dylan - Gotta Serve Somebody lyrics
[Bob Dylan - Gotta Serve Somebody lyrics]
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 going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
You might be a rock ’n’ roll
Addict prancing on the stage
You might have drugs at your command
Women in a cage you may be a business man
Or some high-degree thief
They may call you Doctor or
They may call you Chief
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
You may be a state trooper
You might be a young Turk
You may be the head of some big TV network
You may be rich or poor
You may be blind or lame
You may be living in another
Country under another name
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
You may be a construction worker
Working on a home
You may be living in a mansion or
You might live in a dome
You might own guns and you
Might even own tanks
You might be somebody’s landlord
You might even own banks
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
You may be a preacher
With your spiritual pride
You may be a city councilman
Taking bribes on the side
You may be working in a barbershop
You may know how to cut hair
You may be somebody’s mistress
May be somebody’s heir
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Might like to wear cotton
Might like to wear silk
Might like to drink whiskey
Might like to drink milk
You might like to eat caviar
You might like to eat bread
You may be sleeping on the floor
Sleeping in a king-sized bed
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy
You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy
You may call me RJ, you may call me Ray
You may call me anything but
No matter what you say
You're still gonna have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
But, you’re going to have to serve somebody
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 going to have to serve somebody
Yes indeed
You’re going to have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or
It may be the Lord
