Lyrics

[Verse 1]
May be an ambassador to England or France
May like to gamble, you might like to dance
May be the heavyweight champion of the world
May be a socialite with a long string of pearls
[Verse 2]
But you got to serve somebody
You're gonna serve somebody
May be the devil, may be the Lord
But you gotta serve somebody
[Verse 3]
Rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage
Drugs at your command, women in a cage
May be a businessman or some high-degree thief
May call you Doctor, may call you Chief
[Verse 4]
You got to serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the devil or the Lord
But you gotta serve somebody
[Verse 5]
May be a state trooper, may be a young Turk
May be the head of some big TV network
May be rich or poor, may be blind or lame
Be living in another country under another name
[Verse 6]
But you, you gotta serve somebody
Serve somebody, yeah
Might be the devil or the Lord
But you gotta serve somebody, yeah
[Verse 7]
May be a construction worker working on a home
Living in a mansion, might live in a dome
Might own guns, you might even own tanks
You might be somebody's landlord or you might own the bank
[Verse 8]
But you gotta serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the devil or the Lord
You got to serve somebody, yeah
[Verse 9]
You may be a creature with a spiritual pride
You may be a councilman taking bribes on the side
Working in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair
Or may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's ah, ah, ah
[Verse 10]
Serve somebody
You gotta serve somebody
It might be the devil or the Lord
But you got to serve somebody, yeah
[Verse 11]
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, might like to eat bread
May be sleeping on the floor even on a king-sized bed
[Verse 12]
But you gotta serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Might be the devil or the Lord
But you got to serve somebody, yeah
[Verse 13]
You may call me Terry, you may call me Jimmy
You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy
You may call me E.J., you may call me May
You may call me anything, no matter what you say
[Verse 14]
You still gotta serve somebody (Serve somebody)
You gotta serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Might be the devil or the Lord
But you got to serve somebody, yeah
You got to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
You got to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Might be the devil (Serve somebody)
Or could be the Lord (Serve somebody)
You got to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Let me tell you serve somebody (Serve somebody)
You got to serve somebody (Serve somebody)
Could be the devil (Serve somebody)
Alright
