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]
