Face To Face - The Compromise

The Compromise

You fought your way to an inch of freedom
You looked around but it wasnt there
You can not ignore the voice of reason
"You can not 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 can not 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 you wi will become dull and boring
In a suit that doesnt fit
Everybody wants a piece of whats going on
You can not mean what you said
you are not sorry for a word of it
Everybody wants to get ahead
Now it s not too late to say you are sorry
you are alright
The Compromise
Youve backed yourself into a corner
You looked around and it wasnt there
you are such a sucker for superstit ion
You can not be what you are
So you better be what you want
