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?

[Chorus]

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?

[Repeat Chorus]

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?

[Repeat Chorus]
