Compromise Lyrics by TheHeadlights

Flatline

2022

(Chorus)
You’ve got to compromise
You’ve got to compromise
You’ve got to compromise, mise

(Verse 1)
You’ve got to compromise your will to live, to live
You were made to fill the time on the radio y’ know
And some can see the light behind the curtain that your livin’ in
And I can feel the way to feel myself, elf

(Verse 2)
Still you deny the pies that are thrown at you all day
The critics say you should stop
How? Now?

(Bridge)
The people scream and yell in your face, today
And I can’t go find them
You’ve got to compromise your will to live, to live
You can see the light behind you shinin’ tonight

(Verse 3)
Now throw my desolation in your face
Cause’ now the light is on you this time, time

(Chorus)
You’ve got to compromise
You’ve got to compromise
You’ve got to compromise, mise
