2. Compromise song

When we get rich and famous we’re gonna compromise
When we get rich and famous we’re gonna compromise
Sooner or later you are going to realise
Everything we tell you is a pack of lies

Money’s the root
Money’s the loot
Money’s the name
Of this little game
It’s just a little game

When you look at us with your wide-open eyes
We just kill ourselves, we’re gonna compromise
Why do you have to idealise?
We don’t see you passing up your next payrise

When you next pay cash for our merchandise
Feel oh so sorry for us on our tax paradise
When we get rich and famous we’re gonna compromise
‘Cos we’ll never get rich and famous if we don’t compromise

And here we go again…

But we still write decent melodies
Manufacture rock and roll to put your minds at ease
And with our eyes fixed above you
It’s easy to pretend we love you

Come on, pay at the door and fall upon your knees
Look up at us, project your fantasies
And with our eyes fixed above you
It’s easy to pretend we love you
It’s easy to pretend we love you
We love you
We love you
