Johnny Q. Public - Serve Somebody lyrics

rate me

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 might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

-CHORUS-

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

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 and roll addict prancing on the stage

Money and drugs at your command, women in a cage

You may be a business man or some high DBV

They may call you doctor or they may call you chief

(repeat CHORUS)

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk

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 someone else's name

(repeat CHORUS)

You may be a construction worker, working on a home

You might be living in a mansion, you might be living in a dump

You may own some guns, and you may even own some tanks

You may be someone's landlord, you may even own a bank

(repeat CHORUS)

You may be a preacher preachin' spiritual pride

May be a city councilman taking bribes on the side

May be working in a barber shop, you might know how to cut hair

You may be someone's mistress, maybe someone's heir

(repeat CHORUS)

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 might be sleeping on the floor, You might be sleeping in a king-sized bed

(ad lib CHORUS)
