Depeche Mode - Get the Balance Right!Lyrics

There's more besides joyrides Little house in the countryside Understand, learn to demand, Compromise, sometimes lie Get the Balance right, get the balance right Be responsible, respectable, Stable but gullible Concerned and caring, help the helpless But always remain ultimately selfish Get the balance right, get the balance right 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 Don't take this way, don't take that way Straight down the middle until next Thursday Push to the left, back to the right Twist and turn 'til you've got it right Get the balance right
