George Jackson Lyrics

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 may be a socialite with a long string of

pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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 might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on

the stage, You might have drugs at your command,

women in a cage, You may be a business man or

some high degree thief, They may call you Doctor

or they may call you Chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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 state trooper, you might be a young

Turk, You may 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 under

another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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 construction worker working on a

home, You may be living in a mansion or you might

live in a dome, You might own guns and you might

even own tanks, You might be somebody's landlord,

you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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 preacher with your spiritual pride,

You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the

side, You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may

know how to cut hair, You may be somebody's

mistress, may be somebody's heir

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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.

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear

silk, Might like to drink whiskey, might like to

drink milk, You might like to eat caviar, you

might like to eat bread, You may be sleeping on

the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

indeed 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 call me Terry, you may call me Timmy, You

may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy, You may

call me R.J., you may call me Ray, You may call

me anything but no matter what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

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.
