The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

i do not compromise
with what the government does
neither shall i deliver coffins
on a buy-one-take-one promotion
i do not compromise lives
i live inside a bottle sealed for years
what do you expect me to say
do i have to tell you that i still breathe?

Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.

I love the TV show, and if you make a bad movie it means you've soiled it. Just like if we made an advert. We were offered so many times and I'd say, look, this is the good thing, and you can't compromise that, because then you compromise the integrity of the characters.

Where Peace Lies!
Life is hotch-potch,
In this cosmos,
If you don't think,
Your wife -
As boss.
Before marriage
She is your's,
After marriage
You are her's,
Taking over all things,
Mar's she-
All bars.
When she begets
A kid,
Wane love
That you need,
Matters not
Good-bye you bid,
As she has got
A kid.
As she rules you,
She rules the globe,
Though she fails to do,
She never loose hope.
She is like reeds,
As hope she breeds,
Bends down
With the stream,
Breaks not
In the storm.
Joy, grief there lies,
Compromise makes ties,
No compromise!
Love dies.
If there is compromise,
Love there does rise.

Church On Sunday
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend everything's alright now
I'm not getting any younger as long
As you don't get any older
I'm not gonna state that yesterday never was
Bloodshot
Deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascare bleed
Tears down your face
Leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me I'll die for you
And this compromise
I hereby solemny swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear from you
"Thrust" is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
But "Respect" is something I will earn
If you have faith
Bloodshot
Deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascare bleed
Tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me I'll die for you
And this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me I'll die for you
And this compromise
Let's go
Ohhhhhhhhh........
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me I'll die for you
And this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me I'll die for you
And this compromise
And this compromise
It's a compromise

The yoked bullocks
In marital relationships,
Temptations compromise with availabilities,
Love compromises with commitments,
And looks compromise with behaviors,
Leaving the pair as a pair of yoked bullocks.

Compromise
You wear
The cloth
Of finest lands
The touch of women the toil of hands
Undress
Me now
Before I bend
From the weight of everyman
When Im walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
Now you
Defend
Exhume
Begin again
Its the riddle of a skeleton
Were all
Diseased
So count the coup
I cant image stopping you
When Im walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
So the earth
We scorch
We breath
Find some comfort on our knees
You find
Your worth
In words that wind
Pleasures I dont comprehend
When Im walking trough this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
Asking for a compro
Asking for a compromise

Mothers Always Want Theirs Sons To Be Happy
mothers always want their sons to be happy
and so even if they marry someone
whom their fathers dislike
it is always them who settle for a compromise
and tell fathers to be flexible sometimes
not to hurt the hearts of sons
but sometimes when sons want something else
that only mothers understand
something that fathers cannot really compromise
mothers still compromise
and walk a mile farther
just to make their sons happy
and their sons leave them
to places that only mothers
by their loving hearts
know.
only mothers, yes only mothers,
and no one else.

A Certain Loss
to compromise
one suffers a certain loss
I've lost a face once, and then a mouth
and then my feet
they cut me to invisible pieces
until what is left of me
is my voice
the one that talks to you
now
but this one will not be speaking
for any compromise
it will speak about
the truth
the loss, that certain loss
that you can only see
in my words
here, they who are with me in the house
where only a part of me thrives
cannot ascertain it
the smile of the lips are still there
but there is nothing there anymore
about myself.

From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned. I insist that this shall cease. The country needs repose after all its trials; it deserves repose. And repose can only be found in everlasting principles.

Spasm
My, Out of my mind
My life, I
My mind, out of my mind
My life, I
So confident so, self obsessed no
Compromise no, self obsessed no
My...mind, out of my mind
As you stare into the water
Are you scared you'll be forgotten
As you stare into the water
My, Out of my mind
My life, I
My mind, out of my mind
My mind, I
Compromise no, self obsessed no
Compromise no, self obsessed so
Compromise no, compromise so
Compromise so, self obsessed
As you stare into the tide
Are you scared to be forgotten
As you stare into the water
Terrified...terrified...terrified to be forgotten [x4]
