Compromises Words and Music by Vaughn Arceneaux and Zachary Kuykendall (2010) Compromises, compromises. You are the compromises you've made. You came out of the womb fresh and clean Started rolling in the dirt, a sinning machine Couldn't stand the sun, wouldn't stay in the shade Now all you've got left are the compromises you've made (Refrain) Your mama said you were heaven sent But as yet you haven't made president The president hands the gun to the soldier And the fearful masses feel a little bolder If people have to die just to keep you free Well, that's just way that it's got to be Compromises, compromises It's all you got left Compromises, compromises It's all you got left (Break) (Refrain) You're mama said you were heaven sent But as yet you haven't made president The president hands the gun to the soldier And the fearful masses feel a little bolder If people have to die just to keep you free Well, that's just the way that it's got to be You're not a killer, you just look away You don't want to see, so you remain blind Letting nothing invade you're self justified mind Compromises, compromises It's all you got left Compromises, compromises It's all you got left
