You, you think it's cool to be crazy   I say you wanna stay, which is the point in takin chances   And me, i wouldn't call it a sophmore slup, no, i'd say   I'm one step closer to bein' just where i want to be      Away from this scene,    Away from this machine      So meet me in the middle,   Well c'mon let's make up a dance   And we'll agree to call it the compromise      Step one: find a partner, grab a pen   And don't you dare ask questions,   Just sign on the dotted line   Step two: your partner behind a desk    Will then do absolutley nothing   So it's your job to dance and smile the whole time      Well don't call it a trend,   'cause it's the only way we think to get ahead      So meet me in the middle   Well c'mon let's make up a dance   And we'll agree to call it the compromise   There's no sense in complainin'   If it doesn't change your minds   So take me by the hand, let's compromise      I can feel your feet touchin' mine   If you can't dance, there's someone else in line      So meet me in the middle,   Well c'mon let's make up a dance   And we'll agree to call it the compromise   There's no sense in complainin'   If it doesn't change your minds   So take me by the hand, let's compromise
