The Compromise |
You looked around but it wasn’t there |
You can’t ignore the voice of reason |
You can’t be what you want, so you better be what you are |
You fought your way to an inch of freedom |
You did your best and they didn’t care |
You’ve had your share and you have your reasons You can’t be what you want, |
so you better be what you are |
So we begin our story |
Beleaguered and taken down |
Everybody wants a piece of what’s going on |
Afraid you’ll become dull and boring |
In a suit that doesn’t fit |
Everybody wants a piece of what’s going on |
You can’t mean what you said |
You’re not sorry for a word of it |
Everybody wants to get ahead |
Now it’s not too late to say you’re sorry |
You’re alright |
The Compromise |
You’ve backed yourself into a corner |
You looked around and it wasn’t there |
You’re such a sucker for superstition |
You can’t be what you are |
