Gotta Serve Somebody

For Richard and the time you made us wear hair nets

You might 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

You might be a rock and roll addict prancing on the stage

You might have d**gs at your command women in a cage

You might be a business man or some high degree thief

They may call you doctor they may call you chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

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 you may be blind or lame

You may be living in another country underneath another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody yes indeed

Serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might 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 working in a barbershop knowing how to cut hair

You may be somebody's mistress may be somebody's heir

You're gonna have to serve somebody yes you are

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

You're gonna have to serve somebody

You might like to wear cotton you might like to wear silk

You might like to drink whiskey you might like to drink milk

You might like to eat caviar you might like to eat bread

You may like to be sleeping on the floor sleeping in a king sized bed

You're gonna have to serve somebody

You're gonna have to serve somebody

You're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

You're gonna have to serve somebody
