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
