Get the Balance Right! lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's more besides joyrides

The little house in the countryside

Understand, learn to demand

Compromise, and sometimes lie

[Chorus]

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

[Verse 2]

Be responsible, respectable

Stable but gullible

Concerned and caring, help the helpless

But always remain ultimately selfish

[Chorus]

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

[Bridge]

When you think you've got a hold of it all

You haven't got a hold at all

When you reach the top, get ready to drop

Prepare yourself for the fall

You're gonna fall

It's almost predictable (Almost)

[Verse 3]

Don't turn this way, don't turn that way

Straight down the middle until next Thursday

First to the left, then back to the right

Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

[Chorus]

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

(Almost)

Get the balance right

Get the balance right

(Almost)

Get the balance right

Get the balance...
