DOWN THE ROAD OF COMPROMISE
|
Words & Music by Nick Granato
|
|
Won¡¯t you take a walk with me, down this old familiar road?
|
If you haven¡¯t been there yet, it¡¯s about time you should go,
|
Just don¡¯t be distracted by what takes you by surprise
|
You¡¯ve got to turn your head, and keep on walking by
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
You¡¯ll hear some beg for money, and some will beg for bread
|
But I suggest you pick up your pace, and get away from them
|
After all you know everyone¡¯s just out to take your last dime
|
And you¡¯ll find, most everybody lies,
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
Just step over fallen angels, who¡¯ve been left out in the cold
|
Don¡¯t worry about the sick, the opressed, the hurt, the old,
|
And don¡¯t be fooled by children who stare with hungry eyes
|
Compassion¡¯s not a virtue for the wise
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
You¡¯ll meet lots of friendly faces there, who¡¯ll try to change your mind,
|
At times the road gets narrow, and you¡¯ll wander with the blind
|
But you might not be welcomed in their Gods paradise
|
But don¡¯t mind them; they¡¯ve spent a lot of time,
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
You¡¯ll pass right by devils, thieves & diplomats,
|
It¡¯s hard to tell the difference, so you¡¯d better watch your back,
|
Some will offer prayers and some pretend to take your side,
|
But the truth will always be so hard to find
|
Down the road of compromise <break>
|
|
So won¡¯t you take a walk with me, down familiar this old road?
|
I can show you where to walk, and just how far to go,
|
There¡¯s no need to worry, if you¡¯ll just wear your disguise
|
Cause nothings worth that much sacrifice
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
Yes, you could make a difference, but standing up might cost your life,
|
It¡¯s easier to just keep on walking by¡¦.
|
Down the road of compromise
|
Down the road of compromise
|
|
Down the road of compromise
