Nick Granato - Down The Road Of Compromise
lyrics
Wont you take a walk with me, down this old familiar road?
If you havent been there yet, its about time you should go,
Just dont be distracted by what takes you by surprise
Youve got to turn your head, and keep on walking by
Down the road of compromise

Youll hear some beg for money, and some will beg for bread
But I suggest you pick up your pace, and get away from them
After all you know everyones just out to take your last dime
And youll find, most everybody lies,
Down the road of compromise


Just step over fallen angels, whove been left out in the cold
Dont worry about the sick, the opressed, the hurt, the old,
And dont be fooled by children who stare with hungry eyes
Compassions not a virtue for the wise
Down the road of compromise


Youll meet lots of friendly faces there, wholl try to change your mind,
At times the road gets narrow, and youll wander with the blind
But you might not be welcomed in their Gods paradise
But dont mind them; theyve spent a lot of time,
Down the road of compromise


Youll pass right by devils, thieves & diplomats,
Its hard to tell the difference, so youd better watch your back,
Some will offer prayers and some pretend to take your side,
But the truth will always be so hard to find
Down the road of compromise < break >


So wont you take a walk with me, down familiar this old road?
I can show you where to walk, and just how far to go,
Theres no need to worry, if youll just wear your disguise
Cause nothings worth that much sacrifice
Down the road of compromise


Yes, you could make a difference, but standing up might cost your life,
Its easier to just keep on walking by.
Down the road of compromise
Down the road of compromise


Down the road of compromise
