| Lyrics: | by 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
prancing 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 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 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
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 construction worker
working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or 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 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 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 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.
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,
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 but no matter what you say
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 |
