Compromise
Unveiling the Struggle: Living Syndication's 'Compromise'
Lyrics
You stand on top of us,
You, in a position of authority or power, overlook or dominate us.
Heading way down and
You are leading us downward, and as a result,
we're left with this feeling.
We are left with a particular emotion or perception.
By your laughter I am
Your laughter influences me,
forcing it out
I am expelling or expressing something forcibly.
I am forcing it out
This forceful expression continues,
I have forced out
I have already forcefully expressed.
Throw your hands up
Raise your hands in surrender or submission,
Put 'em in the sky!
Lift them towards the sky!
Throw your hands up
Repeat the action of raising your hands,
Compromise till you die
Compromise until the end of your life.
You'll compromise
You will make concessions or sacrifices.
There are a lot of us
There are many like us,
Somehow we get by
Despite challenges, we manage to survive,
and we're left with sinking
Yet we are burdened with a sinking sensation,
feeling that there's no other
Feeling as if there is no alternative,
option but to sit and take it all.
Except to endure and accept everything.
Comply
Conform or obey.
