Gotta Serve Somebody

Lyrics

You may be an ambassador to England or France You might like to gamble, you might like to dance You might be the heavyweight champion of the world You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls But you're gonna serve somebody, yes indeed You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody You might be a rock 'n' roller prancing on the stage Might have money and drugs, women in a cage You might be a businessman, some Wall Street thief They might call you doctor, they may call you chief But you gotta serve somebody, yes indeed You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody You might be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk You might be the head of a big TV network You may be rich or poor, you could be blind and lame You may live in another country under an assumed name But you gotta serve somebody You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody You might be a construction worker working on a home You may be living in a mansion, maybe living in a dome You may even own guns, you mat even own tanks You might be a slum landlord, you might even own a bank But you gotta serve somebody, yes indeed You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody You may be a preacher with your own spiritual guide You may be a councilman taking bribes on the side You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's au pair But you gotta serve somebody You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk Might like to drink whiskey, might even like milk You may like eatin' caviar, have it with your bread You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed You gotta serve somebody You gotta serve somebody Well, it might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody It might be the devil, it might be the Lord But you gotta serve somebody You gotta serve somebody You gotta be in the service of somebody You gotta lay your soul and your body down You gotta serve somebody
