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]
