Send ‘Gotta Serve Somebody’ Ringtone to Cell

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

    I'm an atheist, and I don't love myself anywhere near enough to "serve myself," but I still like this song. Whatever happened to poetic license? You don't have to take everything literally.

    May like to drink whiskey, may like to blow smoke; you may have money-power or you may be broke; you may think you're living, you may think you're dead; maybe sleeping on nails, maybe sleeping in a featherbed. But you gotta serve somebody, yes indeed, you gotta serve somebody. It may be the Devil or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody.

    Serve Yourself. Look I love this song, I like the idea too of living for a greater purpose than yourself. That's noble, but in all reality there is no "great god" in the sky as Lennon sings.

    Good message that can be appreciated even by the non-religious. Dylan > Lennon.
