“What Should Be Done” is a song by the British rock band Uriah Heep, originally released on their third studio album Look at Yourself, in 1971. As the most mellow and slowest track on the record, the track has a jazz sensibility, with wah-wah guitar licks from Mick Box, and quiet drumming from Iain...
[Verse 1]
So you think you've found a way of living
That prevents you losin' any sleep?
Well my friend, take this that I'm giving
It's your piece of mind you ought to keep
[Chorus]
You'll run into trouble, for sure
By living behind a locked door
Mmm
[Verse 2]
Will you run the risk of being taunted
By doin' what you wanna do?
Or do you prefer to have your whole life haunted
By the ones who choose to care for you?
[Chorus]
Where are their motives, my friend?
Take care you're still there at the end
Watch out for winter, it'll bite you with cold
Black spirits tryin' hard to bribe you with gold
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Would you steal a nickel from a blind man?
Well right now, do believe you would
It's not the thought of you doin' it that hurts me
It's the mind behind it that's no good
[Chorus]
If this is your way, I don't want to know
There's only so far I can go
I won't go no further, not for you or anyone
I have my own ideas of what should be done
[Outro]
Yeah
What should be done?
What should be done?
Oh-paa
Oh-paa
Oh-paa
What should be done?
I wanna hear
