You say you found Jesus. Christ!
He’s the only one
You say you’ve found Buddha
Sittin’ in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Facin’ to the East
You say you found Krishna
Dancin’ in the street
Well there’s somethin’ missing in this God Almighty stew
And it’s your mother
(your mother, don’t forget your mother, la)
[Chorus]
You got to serve yourself
Nobody gonna do for you
You gotta serve yourself
Nobody gonna do for you
Well you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws
But Christ, you’re gonna have to serve yourself and that’s all there is to it
