Gotta Serve Somebody

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 state trooper, you might be a young Turk
You might be the head of some big TV network
You may be rich or poor, oh, you may be blind or lame
You may be living in another country under another name

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, yeah

And you may be a construction worker working on a home
You may be living in a mansion, or you might live in a dome
And you might own guns, and you might even own tanks
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Yes indeed, you 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)

Well, you might be a preacher with your spiritual pride
You might be a city councilman taking bribes on the side
You might be working in a barbershop, you might even know how to cut hair
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

But you're gonna have to 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 (serve somebody)

(Serve somebody)
(Ooh, yeah)

Yeah, you 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 gonna have to 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, yeah, yeah
But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)

Oh, you're gonna have to serve somebody
Oh, you're gonna have to serve somebody
Gonna have to serve somebody
(Serve somebody)
