Hadestown Original Broadway Company - Word to the Wise Lyrics
Official
And so, the poor boy asked the king
Can we go?
And this is how he answered him
I don't know
Gotta think quick
Gotta save face
Caught 'tween a rock and a hard place
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do now?
If you tell him no
Oh, you're a heartless man
And you're gonna have a martyr on your hands
If you let him go
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?
Here's a little tip
Word to the wise
Here's a little snippet of advice
Men are fools
Oh, men are frail
Give them the rope and they'll hang themselves
