The Compromise - Face To Face

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
