What Would You Do
What would you do if it were on you?
Would you do what I got to do, could you see it through?
Inevitably, the whole world will be lost to me
But the whole world don't know and the whole world don't see!
What would you do if they'd all turned on you?
Tried to burn out your heart, tried to kill your soul too
Hated for nothing, hated for everything
Blamed for everything, innocence wanting
What would you do if the turn was on you?
Would you stop playing their game, would the hate start to come through?
What would you do if you were hated for being born?
Hated for being the son of a man you never really knew
What would you do?
