What would you have me do?
Look for a page so that you can be free
And get as reward just a small library?
Then go on a quest without any direction
And face terrorists without any protection?
No, thank you. And link to a prison for one?
Stay in the cage of a guy with a gun?
Listen to you thanking me every day?
Never have anyone hear what I say?
No, thank you. Do I have to go to an age
With a madman whose mind is controlled by his rage?
Rescue your most precious book all alone?
Puzzle my head over mangrees and throne?
No, thank you. I know there are others who'd like
To slog through a swamp, and through a jungle hike,
And stand on the edge of a big floating rock,
Be shot and kept in a room with a lock!
No, thank you! Should I go and run through a maze,
With just beeps to guide me, be stuck there for days?
Navigate catwalks high off of the ground?
Open compartments with codes based on sound?
No, thank you! Amid all the bangs and the clanks -
Did I mention lava? - pull levers? No, thanks!
Go to the waterwheel room, close the gate,
Be knocked unconscious and wake when it's late?
No, thank you! And sit in a gondola slow
Traveling over a waterfall? No,
Thank you! Crawl through a tunnel in the dark?
Stand on the gallows right over a wahrk?
And say without end: "Oh I hope that my friend
Has more issues to which I can attend"?
No, thank you! See a rotting head in a chest,
Dream on a stone bed while getting no rest,
Be bumped by driving erratic all day?
No, thank you! No, thank you! No, thank you!
