The sheet identifies this as a song for the 1973 UCSC student production of Park. Its four labeled parts belong to a son, daughter, father and mother. They are printed once each here, exactly in the source order. The separate suggested performance routine combines and repeats these parts, including an optional combined chorus; those arrangements are not fabricated as extra verses in this text edition.
A (son): Selling out
Is easy to do --
It's not so hard
To find a buyer for you.
When money talks,
You're under its spell,
But what do you have when there's nothing left to sell?
B (daughter): I'd rather call it "compromise."
Sometimes you have to close your eyes.
Being rich is no disgrace.
Put on your shoes and join the race.
It has a very soothing voice.
It's up to you to make the choice.
Before you know it, there'll be nothing left to sell.
C (father): 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.
D (mother): 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.
