lyrics

You may be an ambassador to England or to 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 may 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 businessman 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 are
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)

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 gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are
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)

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

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Yes, you’re gonna have to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil and it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody (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 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 (Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody (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

Still gonna have to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Yes, you’re gonna have to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil and it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
