The Compromise
Alright
You fought your way to an inch of freedom
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've had 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 (oh-oh)
Afraid you'll become dull and boring, in a suit that doesn't fit
Everybody wants a piece of what's going on (oh-oh)
You can't mean what you said
You're not sorry for what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
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, so you better be what you want
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, and soon 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 what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
You can't mean what you said
You're not sorry for what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right, all right, all right, all right
You fought your way to an inch of freedom
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've had 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 (oh-oh)
Afraid you'll become dull and boring, in a suit that doesn't fit
Everybody wants a piece of what's going on (oh-oh)
You can't mean what you said
You're not sorry for what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
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, so you better be what you want
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, and soon 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 what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
You can't mean what you said
You're not sorry for what happened
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it's not too late to say you're sorry
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right
The compromise
You're all right, all right, all right, all right
