Gotta Serve Somebody-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
You might be a rock n' roll addict,
prancin' 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 gonna have to serve somebody,
yes you're
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
You may be a state trooper,
you might be a young turk

You may be livin' in another country
under another name
But you're gonna have to serve somebody,
yes you're
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
You may be a construction worker
workin' on a home
You might be livin' in a mansion,

You might be somebody's landlord,

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes 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
