The news was bad 'round the first of December
Looks like things will never settle down
Isn't there enough room in this town for us to meet in the middle?
Everybody's got to throw their two cents in
It all seems like such a waste of time
Like stumbling 'round for matches in the dark
You'll never see the forest or the trees
Oh, won't you listen to me please
I like what you do
It's important to you
But I've lost my ability to compromise
I won't roll over and play your dead dog
I have travelled down that road too long
I never want to play another song that I can't feel just a little
And you might have a better way to do things
That's okay, I might as well be wrong
'Cause i could walk away fro you tomorrow with nothing lost and nothing
left
to borrow
Oh, can't we meet in the middle?
I like what you do
It's important to you
But there's no room in me left for compromise
And if it's the high road you choose more power to you
But I don't have the strengh left for compromise
There's a bright Red star on the east horizon
Some would say "Don't follow him too far"
But look at all the good things that he's done
He's put away his hatred and his guns
Oh, can't we meet him in the middle?
I like what I see
It's important to me
But I'm lost at the fine art of compromise
And I like what you do
It's important to you
But I've lost the ability to compromise
