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
