about

Compromise is a tongue-in-cheek satirical banger that ridicules the entire "big-small town" that is Canberra. With an epic guitar solo, this song is a silly rant about how weird and small our capital city is.

lyrics

Went to Canberra
On a school trip
Was a long trip there
Went to Parliament
Saw a red room
And a green room too
Visited some galleries
There was some overpriced food
And so-so artwork
Then we were dragged to a coin mint
And some gardens
It was so fucking boring!

That’s why it was a school trip
And next time I’m gonna skip it

A city crafted out of thin air
Is more than we can all bear
A city crafted out of thin air
It’s more than we can all bear

Canberra
You’re just a big small town
And Canberra
You make everyone frown
Canberra
Nobody likes you
And Canberra
That’s a bit of an issue

Canberra
You’re just a big small town
And Canberra
You make everyone frown
Canberra
Nobody likes you
And Canberra
That’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue

Actually
I’ve got an affinity
(affinity)
It’s peaceful, it’s pristine and it is pretty
(it is pretty)
I’d go there on a holiday sometimes
(sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)
NO

Canberra
You’re just a big small town
And Canberra
You make everyone frown
Canberra
Nobody likes you
And Canberra
That’s a bit of an issue

Canberra
You’re just a big small town
I guess you might have a pretty decent underground
(Canberra)
You know, Canberra
Nobody likes you
And Canberra
That’s a bit of an issue

Cause you're our capital city
Our capital city
You're our capital city
Our capital city
You're our capital city
(It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue)
Our capital city
You're our capital city
(It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue)
Our capital city
You're our capital city
(It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue)
Our capital city
You're our capital city
It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue, an issue
