The Great Compromise Lyrics – Maria Elena Ramirez

The Great Compromise Text

---

Rachel:
I always thought I'd live
in a house with a dog and some kids and some slaves
A mat at the door that said welcome
A sign on the fence that says private some don't enter
and I'd never compromise

I hear you talkin talk about what you want
the travel the fighting
the pictures in the paper
the killing and campaigning
the sign on your door says populism yeah yeah

well you tell me not to compromise
you tell me that you change
you promise and you promise
but
I hear you talking talk about what you want
and you get what you want
you promise and you promise
you promise and you promise

but oh-oh
I'm so through with compromising
I'm so through with compromising
we have no private life
you give up nothing
i give up everything
you give up nothing
we have no private life
you give up nothing
i give up everything

you give up nothing!
