Song by Bob Dylan<br /><br>

You may be an ambassador to England or France,<br>

You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,<br>

You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,<br>

You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,<br>

You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,<br>

You may be a business man or some high degree thief,<br>

They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk,<br>

You may be the head of some big TV network,<br>

You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame,<br>

You may be living in another country under another name<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

You may be a construction worker working on a home,<br>

You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,<br>

You might own guns and you might even own tanks,<br>

You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,<br>

You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side,<br>

You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair,<br>

You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk,<br>

Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,<br>

You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread,<br>

You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed<br>

<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody,<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>

You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy,<br>

You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy,<br>

You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray,<br>

You may call me anything but no matter what you say<br>

<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed<br>

You're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord<br>

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.<br>

<br>
