Fiction

Joni Mitchell

I can't decide

I don't know

Which way to go?

The options multiply

The choices grow

Which way to go?

What should I buy?

What should I be?

Which way to go?

(Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief)

So much comes at you

Too much for me

Which way to go?



Elusive dreams and vague desires

Fanned to fiery needs by golden boys

In ad empires

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Fiction of the boob tube

Fiction of the papers

Fiction of the image and the image makers

Fiction of the magazines

Fiction of the movies

Fiction of the "Buy me," "Watch me," "Listen to me"



I can't decide

I'm so confused

Which way to go?

I'm being useful here

I'm being used

Which way to go?

Some line gets drawn

What line is this?

Which way to go?

Could be a threshold or a precipice

Which way to go?



Elusive dreams and vague desires

Fanned to fiery needs by sexy boys

In flaming T.V. fires

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Truth

Fiction

Fiction of obedience

Fiction of rebellion

Fiction of the goody-goody and the hellion

Fiction of destroyers

Fiction of preservers

Fiction of peacemakers and shit disturbers



Fiction of the moralist

Fiction of the nihilist

Fiction of the innovator and the stylist

Fiction of the killjoy

Fiction of the charmer

Fiction of the clay feet and the shining armour

Fiction of the declaimers

Fiction of the rebukers

Fiction of the pro and the no nukers

Fiction of the gizmo

Fiction of the data

Fiction of the this is this and that is that -- Ahh!



I can't decide

I don't know

Which way to go?

The more you learn

The less you know

Which way to go?

Some follow blind

And never know

Which way to go?

To lead you need some place to go

Which way to go?
