Lyrics
[HERMES, spoken]
And so, the poor boy asked the king.
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Can we go?
[HERMES, spoken]
And this is how he answered him.
[HADES, spoken]
I don't know.
[FATE]
Gotta think quick.
[FATE]
Gotta save face.
[FATE]
Caught ’tween a rock and a hard place.
[FATES]
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do now?
[FATE]
If you tell him no.
[FATES]
Oh, you're a heartless man
And you're gonna have a martyr on your hands.
[FATE]
If you let him go.
[FATES]
Oh, you’re a spineless king
And you're never gonna get 'em in line again.
Damned if you don't
Damned if you do
Whole damn nation's watching you
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do now?
[FATE]
Here's a little tip.
[FATE]
Word to the wise.
[FATE]
Here's a little snippet of advice:
[FATE]
Men are fools.
[FATE]
Oh, men are frail.
[FATES]
Give them the rope and they'll hang themselves.
