Gotta Serve Somebody Lyrics - Dylan & The Dead - Bob Dylan

You may be an ambassador 

To England or France 

You might like to gamble 

You might like to dance 

You may be the heavyweight 

Champion of the world 

You might 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

Might be a Rock-n-roll addict 

Prancing on the stage 

Money, 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 

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 

Maybe livin' in another Country 

Under another name 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody 

Yes you are, 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 

Maybe a construction worker 

Workin' on a home 

Might be livin' in a Mansion 

You might live in a dome 

You may own guns 

And you may even own tanks 

You may be someone's landlord 

You may 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 

Preaching Spiritual Pride 

Maybe a City Councilman 

Takin' bribes on the side 

Maybe working in a Barbershop 

You may know how to cut hair 

You may be somebody's mistress 

Maybe 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 

Might like to eat caviar 

You might like to eat bread 

Maybe sleeping on the floor 

Sleepin' in a king-size 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 

Or you may call me Zimmy 

You may call me RJ 

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 

And it may be the Lord 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody 

Ohh Yeah 

Serve Somebody
