What Should Be Done - Lyrics - Uriah Heep

The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and insincerity, making frequent references to his own "'humbleness". His name has become synonymous with being a yes man. He is the central antagonist of the latter part of the book.

So you think you 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. You'll run into trouble, for sure, By living behind a locked door. Mmm. 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? Where are their motives, my friend, mm? Take care your 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. 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. 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. Yeah. What should be done? What should be done? Ooh, paa, Ooh, paa, Ooh, paa, What should be done? I wanna hear.
