Gotta Serve Somebody (Saturday Night Live 1979) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

May be an ambassador to England or France
May like to gamble, may like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You may be a social lad with a long string of pearl

But you′re gonna serve somebody
Yes indeed, serve somebody
It may be the devil, it may be the Lord
But you're gonna serve somebody

May be working on a construction job or workin′ on a home
May be working in a coal mine, ma'am, I believe I'm gonna dog a bone
You may be rich or poor, may be blind or lame
Maybe livin′ in another country, uh, under another name

Still gonna serve somebody
Well, yes indeed, serve somebody
It may be the devil, it may be the Lord
But you′re gonna serve somebody


Serve somebody (serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
Serve somebody (serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)

Maybe you burn time again, maybe stinky about twice
But some don't need a man, maybe walking on ice
If you think you′re living, huh, may be think you're dead
May be sleeping on nails, sleeping in a better bed

Still gonna serve somebody (serve somebody)
It may be the devil, it may be the Lord, serve somebody

Serve somebody (serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
Serve somebody, yeah (serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
(Serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
(Serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
It may be the devil, it may be the Lord

But you′re gonna serve somebody (serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
It may be the devil, it may be the Lord
But you're gonna serve somebody (serve somebody, ooh, serve somebody, ooh, yeah)
(It may be the devil, it may be the Lord)
But you′re gotta serve somebody
