Compromise and confusion steal us away)



When they say ignorance is bliss

It makes it sound too good to miss

How about that?

And the problem with success is you become what you detest

How about that?



So who to believe and who do you trust

Well, it might as well be you

'Cos it seem that no-one else has got a clue



Get it wrong get it right

You can try as hard as you like

But there's no such thing in the world as the right decision

(Compromise and confusion steal us away)



Now it's okay for you to smoke

Just as long as it's not dope

How about that?

Two wrongs don't make a right

But there's a Gulf where they just might

How about that?



Suspended by trust

Reserved my belief

And did all I could do

In the hope that I might pick up any clues



Get it wrong get it right

You can try as hard as you like

But there's no such thing in the world as the right decision



Compromise and confusion steal us away



When to serve and protect

Means we may just break your neck

How about that?

For every question why

There's an answer on the sly

That few will look in the eye



Get it wrong get it right

You can try as hard as you like

But there's no such thing in the world as the right decision
