It is an anti-war song and a protest song. Its theme is the disillusionment of the country during the Vietnam War era. In the liner notes to his 1993 anthology Great Days, Prine writes of this song, "The idea I had in mind was that America was this girl you used to take to drive-in movies. And then when you went to get some popcorn, she turned around and screwed some guy in foreign sports car. I really love America. I just don't know how to get there anymore." Chorus: 'I used to sleep at the foot of old glory And awake in the dawn’s early light But much to my surprise When I opened my eyes I was a victim of the great compromise' References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.celestialmonochord.org/2006/05/the_great_compr.html|title=The Great Compromise|website=The Celestial Monochord|access-date=2018-10-08}} {{John Prine}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Great Compromise (song), The}}{{folk-song-stub}} 4 : John Prine songs|1972 songs|Anti-war songs|Songs written by John Prine |
