The Compromise
[Verse 1]
You, you think it's cool to be crazy
I say you're born rich, stay rich
There's no point in taking chances
And me (Oh, me, no, no, oh)
I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump
I'd say I'm one step closer to being
Just where I want to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Away from this scene
Away from this machine (Alright!)
[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
[Verse 2]
Step one:
Find a partner, grab a pen
Don't you dare ask questions
Just sign on the dotted line
Step two:
Throw your partner behind a desk
Where they'll do absolutely nothing
So it's your job to dance and smile
The whole time
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call it a trend
It's the only way we think to get ahead
[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
There's no sense in complaining
It doesn't change our minds
Take me by the hand, let's compromise
[Bridge]
I can feel your feet touching mine
If you can't dance
There's someone else in line
I can feel your feet touching mine
If you can't dance
There's someone else in line
[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
There's no sense in complaining (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
It doesn't change our minds (Hoo-hoo)
Take me by the hand, let's compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
[Outro]
Eh-hey, eh-hey!
