Quit While You're Ahead

Compromise my enigmatic burn up
lights that never go out, you look so genuine
with the moon rise you're sympathetic failure
mistaken as a traitor, no one ever wins
So you should quit while you're ahead
while you leading in the polls
with your centre stage control
your the best in your field
But with the sun set you're never gonna know why
pictures of the black sky cover up your shield
So tell me what I believe
tell what it is I need
tell me you'll provide it for me yes
and I will do anything for you
I'll do anything you tell me to
I'll mistake the lies you sell me for the truth
Say it, say it like it is
you got thirty seconds kid
you got all the time you need
Gibberish, stupid talking nonsense
don't forget your audience
fail or succeed
Keep face, don't let your guard down
it's the judgement of your home town
the trees, they grow so high
But in a safe place, you could be yourself now
feel free to let your hair down
you don't have to hide
So tell me what I believe
tell me what it is I need
tell me you'll provide it for me yes
and I will do anything for you
I'll do anything you tell me to
I'll mistake the lies you sell me for the truth
