Tom Lehrer - Selling Out

Selling out is easy to do

It's not so hard to find a buyer for you

When money talks, you're under it's spell

But what do you have when there's nothing left to sell?

Selling out (I'd rather call it compromise)

Is easy to do (Sometimes you have to close your eyes)

It's not so hard (Being rich is no disgrace)

To find a buyer for you (Put on your shoes and join the race)

When money talks (It has a very soothing voice)

You're under its spell (It's up to you to make the choice)

But what do you have when there's nothing left to sell?

(Before you know it, there'll be nothing left to sell)

You can't always break the rules

People who try are fools

When you get older, maybe then you will see

I've always found ideals don't take the place of meals

That's how it is and how it will always be

It's so nice to have integrity

I'll tell you why

If you really have integrity, it means your price is very high

So remember when you start to preach and moralize

That we all are in the game and brother its name is compromise

into

Rush - Second Nature

(a propos of nothing, of course)
