Last time you dramatized 
I knew it was your job 
And you really did it well 
Next time you might criticize 
I get so confused 
What'll it be this time? 
Compromise 
Compromise 
Now, reflect, but not too long! 
Those presses are waiting, 
Can't miss that deadline! 
Even at the best of times 
You can't hope to please us all. 
So what'll it be this time? 
Compromise 
Compromise 
Now, reflect, but not too long! 
Reload... 
Then hide again 
Each time a different view 
How's your perspective? 
Bending a little line 
You could use a very different kind of phrasing 
What'll it be this time? 
Compromise 
Compromise 
Now, reflect, but not too long!
