Tell me

What do I have to do?

Do I have to beg
Or walk a hundred miles
Do I have to pray
To the gods of other tribes

Do I have to be
Like sinless saints
Do I need to learn
A few more trades

What do I have to do?

Do I lie in wait
A few more years
Do I have to see
More pain and glee

Do I speak in prose
Or riddled words
Do I sing more songs
Or write more notes

Do I have to wear
That phony smile
Do I have to play
That worthless part

Tell me. What do I have to do?
