Face To Face – The Compromise

You fought your way to an inch of freedom

You looked around but it wasnt there

You cant ignore the voice of reason

“You cant 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 didnt care

Youve had your share and you have your reasons

“You cant 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 whats going on

Afraid youll become dull and boring

In a suit that doesnt fit

Everybody wants a piece of whats going on

You cant mean what you said

Youre not sorry for a word of it

Everybody wants to get ahead

Now its not too late to say youre sorry

Youre alright

The Compromise

Youve backed yourself into a corner

You looked around and it wasnt there

Youre such a sucker for superstition

You cant be what you are

So you better be what you want
