Serve somebody

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 working in a barbershop, knowing how to cut hair
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody?s heir

You're gonna have to serve somebody

You might like to drink whiskey, you might like to drink milk
