What Would You Do? lyrics
What Would You Do?
FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER
With time rushing by,
What would you do?
With the clock running down,
What would you do?
The young always have the cure-
Being brave, being sure
And free,
But imagine if you were me.
Alone like me,
And this is the only world you know.
Some rooms to let?
The sum of a lifetime, even so.
I'll take your advice.
What would you do?
Would you pay the price?
What would you do?
Suppose simply keeping still
Means you manage until the end?
What would you do,
My brave young friend?
Grown old like me,
With neither the will nor wish to run;
Grown tired like me,
Who hurries for bed when day is done;
Grown wise like me,
Who isn't at war with anyone?
Not anyone!
With a storm in the wind,
What would you do?
Suppose you're one frightened voice
Being told what the choice must be.
Go on; tell me,
I will listen.
What would you do?
If you were me?
