And you see, i kind of shivered to conformity

Did you see, the way i cowered to authority, you see

And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway

It's a sham, and i'm conditioned to accept it all, you see



(more) than i had before

(more) than i've presently got

(more) than i'll ever use up

(more) than i really need

It's more than i can spare



And you see, it's emotionally affecting me

Did you see, my equilibrium more balanced me

And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway

It's a sham, and i'm conditioned to accept it all, you see



Life is a compromise anyway

Life is a compromise anyway

Life, it's a compromise anyway

And it's a sham, and i'll accept it all
