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
