Gotta Serve Somebody歌词

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 the head of some big TV network
You may be rich or poor,
you may be blind or lame
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 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 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

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride
You may be a city
councilman takin' 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 heir
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

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 sleepin' on the floor,
sleepin' in a king-sized bed
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 may call me Terry,
you may call me Timmy
You may call me Bobby,
you may call me Zimmy
You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray
You may call me anything,
no matter what you say
You're still 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
